=head1 NAME

Net::DNS::Nameserver - DNS server class

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Net::DNS::Nameserver;

    my $nameserver = new Net::DNS::Nameserver(
	LocalAddr	=> ['::1' , '127.0.0.1'],
	ZoneFile	=> "filename"
	);

    my $nameserver = new Net::DNS::Nameserver(
	LocalAddr	=> '10.1.2.3',
	LocalPort	=> 5353,
	ReplyHandler	=> \&reply_handler
    );


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Net::DNS::Nameserver offers a simple mechanism for instantiation of
customised DNS server objects intended to provide test responses to
queries emanating from a client resolver.

It is not, nor will it ever be, a general-purpose DNS nameserver
implementation.

See L</EXAMPLE> for an example.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

    $nameserver = new Net::DNS::Nameserver(
	LocalAddr	=> ['::1' , '127.0.0.1'],
	ZoneFile	=> "filename"
	);

    $nameserver = new Net::DNS::Nameserver(
	LocalAddr	=> '10.1.2.3',
	LocalPort	=> 5353,
	ReplyHandler	=> \&reply_handler,
	Verbose		=> 1,
	Truncate	=> 0
    );

Returns a Net::DNS::Nameserver object, or undef if the object
could not be created.

Each instance is configured using the following optional arguments:

    LocalAddr		IP address on which to listen	Defaults to loopback address
    LocalPort		Port on which to listen		Defaults to 53
    ZoneFile		Name of file containing RRs
			accessed using the default
			reply-handling subroutine
    ReplyHandler	Reference to customised
			reply-handling subroutine
    NotifyHandler	Reference to reply-handling
			subroutine for queries with
			opcode NOTIFY (RFC1996)
    UpdateHandler	Reference to reply-handling
			subroutine for queries with
			opcode UPDATE (RFC2136)
    Verbose		Report internal activity	Defaults to 0 (off)
    Truncate		Truncates UDP packets that
			are too big for the reply	Defaults to 1 (on)
    IdleTimeout		TCP clients are disconnected
			if they are idle longer than
			this duration			Defaults to 120 (secs)

The LocalAddr attribute may alternatively be specified as a list of IP
addresses to listen to.
If the IO::Socket::IP library package is available on the system
this may also include IPv6 addresses.


The ReplyHandler subroutine is passed the query name, query class,
query type and optionally an argument containing the peerhost, the
incoming query, and the name of the incoming socket (sockethost). It
must either return the response code and references to the answer,
authority, and additional sections of the response, or undef to leave
the query unanswered.  Common response codes are:

    NOERROR	No error
    FORMERR	Format error
    SERVFAIL	Server failure
    NXDOMAIN	Non-existent domain (name doesn't exist)
    NOTIMP	Not implemented
    REFUSED	Query refused

For advanced usage it may also contain a headermask containing an
hashref with the settings for the C<aa>, C<ra>, and C<ad>
header bits. The argument is of the form
C<< { ad => 1, aa => 0, ra => 1 } >>.

EDNS options may be specified in a similar manner using optionmask
C<< { $optioncode => $value, $optionname => $value } >>.


See RFC 1035 and the IANA dns-parameters file for more information:

  ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1035.txt
  http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/dns-parameters

The nameserver will listen for both UDP and TCP connections.  On
Unix-like systems, the program will probably have to run as root
to listen on the default port, 53.	A non-privileged user should
be able to listen on ports 1024 and higher.

UDP reply truncation functionality was introduced in VERSION 830.
The size limit is determined by the EDNS0 size advertised in the query,
otherwise 512 is used.
If you want to do packet truncation yourself you should set C<Truncate>
to 0 and truncate the reply packet in the code of the ReplyHandler.

See L</EXAMPLE> for an example.

=head2 main_loop

    $ns->main_loop;

Start accepting queries. Calling main_loop never returns.


=head2 loop_once

    $ns->loop_once( [TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS] );

Start accepting queries, but returns. If called without a parameter, the
call will not return until a request has been received (and replied to).
Otherwise, the parameter specifies the maximum time to wait for a request.
A zero timeout forces an immediate return if there is nothing to do.

Handling a request and replying obviously depends on the speed of
ReplyHandler. Assuming a fast ReplyHandler, loop_once should spend just a
fraction of a second, if called with a timeout value of 0.0 seconds. One
exception is when an AXFR has requested a huge amount of data that the OS
is not ready to receive in full. In that case, it will remain in a loop
(while servicing new requests) until the reply has been sent.

In case loop_once accepted a TCP connection it will immediately check if
there is data to be read from the socket. If not it will return and you
will have to call loop_once() again to check if there is any data waiting
on the socket to be processed. In most cases you will have to count on
calling "loop_once" twice.

A code fragment like:

    $ns->loop_once(10);
    while( $ns->get_open_tcp() ){
	$ns->loop_once(0);
    }

Would wait for 10 seconds for the initial connection and would then
process all TCP sockets until none is left.


=head2 get_open_tcp

In scalar context returns the number of TCP connections for which state
is maintained. In array context it returns IO::Socket objects, these could
be useful for troubleshooting but be careful using them.


=head1 EXAMPLE

The following example will listen on port 5353 and respond to all queries
for A records with the IP address 10.1.2.3.	 All other queries will be
answered with NXDOMAIN.	 Authority and additional sections are left empty.
The $peerhost variable catches the IP address of the peer host, so that
additional filtering on its basis may be applied.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Net::DNS::Nameserver;

    sub reply_handler {
	my ( $qname, $qclass, $qtype, $peerhost, $query, $conn ) = @_;
	my ( $rcode, @ans, @auth, @add );

	print "Received query from $peerhost to " . $conn->{sockhost} . "\n";
	$query->print;

	if ( $qtype eq "A" && $qname eq "foo.example.com" ) {
		my ( $ttl, $rdata ) = ( 3600, "10.1.2.3" );
		my $rr = new Net::DNS::RR("$qname $ttl $qclass $qtype $rdata");
		push @ans, $rr;
		$rcode = "NOERROR";
	} elsif ( $qname eq "foo.example.com" ) {
		$rcode = "NOERROR";

	} else {
		$rcode = "NXDOMAIN";
	}

	# mark the answer as authoritative (by setting the 'aa' flag)
	my $headermask = {aa => 1};

	# specify EDNS options	{ option => value }
	my $optionmask = {};

	return ( $rcode, \@ans, \@auth, \@add, $headermask, $optionmask );
    }


    my $ns = new Net::DNS::Nameserver(
	LocalPort    => 5353,
	ReplyHandler => \&reply_handler,
	Verbose	     => 1
	) || die "couldn't create nameserver object\n";


    $ns->main_loop;


=head1 BUGS

Limitations in perl 5.8.6 makes it impossible to guarantee that
replies to UDP queries from Net::DNS::Nameserver are sent from the
IP-address they were received on. This is a problem for machines with
multiple IP-addresses and causes violation of RFC2181 section 4.
Thus a UDP socket created listening to INADDR_ANY (all available
IP-addresses) will reply not necessarily with the source address being
the one to which the request was sent, but rather with the address that
the operating system chooses. This is also often called "the closest
address". This should really only be a problem on a server which has
more than one IP-address (besides localhost - any experience with IPv6
complications here, would be nice). If this is a problem for you, a
work-around would be to not listen to INADDR_ANY but to specify each
address that you want this module to listen on. A separate set of
sockets will then be created for each IP-address.
