dnsjava is an implementation of DNS in Java. It supports all defined record
|
|
types (including the DNSSEC types), and unknown types. It can be used for
|
|
queries, zone transfers, and dynamic updates. It includes a cache which can be
|
|
used by clients, and a minimal implementation of a server. It supports TSIG
|
|
authenticated messages, partial DNSSEC verification, and EDNS0.
|
|
|
|
dnsjava provides functionality above and beyond that of the InetAddress class.
|
|
Since it is written in pure Java, dnsjava is fully threadable, and in many
|
|
cases is faster than using InetAddress.
|
|
|
|
dnsjava provides both high and low level access to DNS. The high level
|
|
functions perform queries for records of a given name, type, and class, and
|
|
return an array of records. There is also a clone of InetAddress, which is even
|
|
simpler. A cache is used to reduce the number of DNS queries sent. The low
|
|
level functions allow direct manipulation of DNS messages and records, as well
|
|
as allowing additional resolver properties to be set.
