I expect I might, at some point, switch from using a dynamic score in
the plugin, to a normal score. But that's the only change I expect
to make, aside from bug fixes (if there are any), and/or a switch to
using Net::DNS.
I wonder if there is any way for a plugin to hook into SA's DNS
routines. That might be better than calling Net::DNS directly.
If anyone knows of a way, I'd look into it. I need to do both fwd and
reverse lookups though.
The simple version might look like:
# Get resolver
my $dns = $pms->{parser_dns_pms};
# Reverse
$hostname = $dns->lookup_ptr ($ip);
# Forward
my @addrs = $dns->lookup_a ($hostname);
I'm not sure if the above code is really in any way better than the way you have it now. There are
also functions for doing dns in the background but I don't know if that would be practical or
helpful for your plugin.
You also might consider using the rdns that SA has already calculated to save
one query:
$hostname = $relay->{ip};
