Resolv

Resolv is a thread-aware DNS resolver library written in Ruby. Resolv can handle multiple DNS requests concurrently without blocking the entire Ruby interpreter.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'resolv'

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

gem install resolv

Usage

p Resolv.getaddress "www.ruby-lang.org"
p Resolv.getname "210.251.121.214"

Resolv::DNS.open do |dns|
  ress = dns.getresources "www.ruby-lang.org", Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::A
  p ress.map(&:address)
  ress = dns.getresources "ruby-lang.org", Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::MX
  p ress.map { |r| [r.exchange.to_s, r.preference] }
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
