NAME

Net::DNS::Method::Hash - Perl extension to provide static mapping of RRs to IP addresses

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::DNS::Method::Hash;

  my $Hash = new Net::DNS::Method::Hash { BaseDomain => 'hashdomain.com',
                                          Hash => $ref_to_hash,
                                          };

DESCRIPTION

This class supports the specification of large amounts of RRs under the zone specified as the BaseDomain option. The RRs have the generic form

    <key>.<BaseDomain> <RR DATA>
    <key> <RR DATA>

for example,

    key-to-the-hash.hashdomain.com 30 IN TXT "Some weird host"

would be produced by a hash such as

    { 'key-to-the-hash' => '30 IN TXT "Some weird host"', }

The RRs are specified using a reference to a hash whose left-hand side is the name of the RR and its right-hand side is either the RR data to be fed to Net::DNS::RR or a reference to a list of RR data strings.

Only RRs of matching type will be returned to a DNS query, with the exception of an 'ANY' query, for which all available RRs will be returned.

EXPORT

None by default.
