	This method will start the forward lookup of a hostname, e.g.
bool	HasResult ()
	This method will return true when the lookup is completed.
std::string	GetResult ()
	This method returns the result of your query as a string, depending upon wether you called DNS::ReverseLookup() or DNS::ForwardLookup.

Detailed Description

The DNS class allows fast nonblocking resolution of hostnames and ip addresses.

It is based heavily upon firedns by Ian Gulliver.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DNS::DNS (   )

The default constructor uses dns addresses read from /etc/resolv.conf. Please note that it will re-read /etc/resolv.conf for each copy of the class you instantiate, causing disk access and slow lookups if you create a lot of them. Consider passing the constructor a server address as a parameter instead.

DNS::DNS (  std::string  dnsserver  )

This constructor accepts a dns server address. The address must be in dotted decimal form, e.g. 1.2.3.4.

DNS::~DNS (   )

The destructor frees all used structures.

bool DNS::ForwardLookup (  std::string  host  )

This method will start the forward lookup of a hostname, e.g. www.inspircd.org, and returns true if the lookup was successfully initiated.

int DNS::GetFD (   )

This method returns the file handle used by the dns query socket or zero if the query is invalid for some reason, e.g. the dns server not responding.

std::string DNS::GetResult (   )

This method returns the result of your query as a string, depending upon wether you called DNS::ReverseLookup() or DNS::ForwardLookup.

bool DNS::HasResult (   )

This method will return true when the lookup is completed. It uses poll internally to determine the status of the socket.

bool DNS::ReverseLookup (  std::string  ip  )

This method will start the reverse lookup of an ip given in dotted decimal format, e.g. 1.2.3.4, and returns true if the lookup was successfully initiated.
