NAME

Net::DNS::Method::Constant - Provides constant answers to queries

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::DNS::Method;
  use Net::DNS::Method::Constant;

  my $c = new Net::DNS::Method::Constant ('domain.com', 'IN', 'A', 
                                          'IN A 127.0.0.1');

DESCRIPTION

For any question matching the domain, class and type supplied, this module responds with an authoritative answer containing the specified RR.

The response RR will be built using the partial data passed as the fourth parameter to ->new(). The query name will be used to build a Net::DNS::RR object, which will be put in the answer section of the response.
