Hi all, I saw in previous posts that DNSNameError signifies an 'NXDOMAIN' status and DNSServerError signifies 'SERVFAIL'. However, I am getting a DNSNameError from twisted.names.client.lookupAddress() when I query a hostname that has no A records, but *does have* other records (NS, SOA, etc).
An example: ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> megaupload.com ANY ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 19402 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;megaupload.com. IN ANY ;; ANSWER SECTION: megaupload.com. 21600 IN SOA ns5.cirfu.net. ipr.ic.fbi.gov. 2013022001 3600 900 604800 900 megaupload.com. 21600 IN NS ns5.cirfu.net. megaupload.com. 21600 IN NS ns6.cirfu.net. dig is telling me 'status: NOERROR'. Is there an easy way to determine the status of a DNS query from a twisted.names.dns.Message ? I checked the source and it wasn't readily apparent (to me). In my code I'm checking the value of failure.value.__class__.__name__ to determine if an answer is NX or SERVFAIL. Seems like there should be a better way... Here's the code if anybody wants to take a look: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5669612/ Thanks to the Twisted devs and maintainers for all your hard work! byrsa
