Generate a Message instance suitable for use as the response to message.

queries will be copied from the request to the response.

rCode, answers, authority and additional will be assigned to the response, if supplied.

The recAv flag will be set on the response if the canRecurse flag on this DNSServerFactory is set to True.

The auth flag will be set on the response if *any* of the supplied answers have their auth flag set to True.

The response will have the same maxSize as the request.

Additionally, the response will have a timeReceived attribute whose value is that of the original request and the

ParametersmessageThe request message (type: int)
rCodeThe response code which will be assigned to the response.
answersAn optional list of answer records which will be assigned to the response. (type: list of dns.RRHeader)
authorityAn optional list of authority records which will be assigned to the response. (type: list of dns.RRHeader)
additionalAn optional list of additional records which will be assigned to the response. (type: list of dns.RRHeader)
ReturnsA response Message instance. (type: Message)
See Alsodns._responseFromMessage
def gotResolverResponse(self, response, protocol, message, address): (source)

A callback used by DNSServerFactory.handleQuery for handling the deferred response from self.resolver.query.

Constructs a response message by combining the original query message with the resolved answer, authority and additional records.

Marks the response message as authoritative if any of the resolved answers are found to be authoritative.

The resolved answers count will be logged if DNSServerFactory.verbose is >1.

ParametersresponseAnswer records, authority records and additional records (type: tuple of list of dns.RRHeader instances)
protocolThe DNS protocol instance to which to send a response message. (type: dns.DNSDatagramProtocol or dns.DNSProtocol)
messageThe original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: dns.Message)
addressThe address to which the response message will be sent or None if protocol is a stream protocol. (type: tuple or None)
def gotResolverError(self, failure, protocol, message, address): (source)

A callback used by DNSServerFactory.handleQuery for handling deferred errors from self.resolver.query.

Constructs a response message from the original query message by assigning a suitable error code to rCode.

An error message will be logged if DNSServerFactory.verbose is >1.

ParametersfailureThe reason for the failed resolution (as reported by self.resolver.query). (type: Failure)
protocolThe DNS protocol instance to which to send a response message. (type: dns.DNSDatagramProtocol or dns.DNSProtocol)
messageThe original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: dns.Message)
addressThe address to which the response message will be sent or None if protocol is a stream protocol. (type: tuple or None)
def handleQuery(self, message, protocol, address): (source)

Called by DNSServerFactory.messageReceived when a query message is received.

Takes the first query from the received message and dispatches it to self.resolver.query.

Adds callbacks DNSServerFactory.gotResolverResponse and DNSServerFactory.gotResolverError to the resulting deferred.

Note: Multiple queries in a single message are not supported because there is no standard way to respond with multiple rCodes, auth, etc. This is consistent with other DNS server implementations. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsext-edns1-03 for a proposed solution.

ParametersmessageThe original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: dns.Message)
protocolThe DNS protocol instance to which to send a response message. (type: dns.DNSDatagramProtocol or dns.DNSProtocol)
addressThe address to which the response message will be sent or None if protocol is a stream protocol. (type: tuple or None)
ReturnsA deferred which fires with the resolved result or error of the first query in message. (type: Deferred)
def handleInverseQuery(self, message, protocol, address): (source)

Called by DNSServerFactory.messageReceived when an inverse query message is received.

addressThe address to which the response message will be sent or None if protocol is a stream protocol. (type: tuple or None)
def messageReceived(self, message, proto, address=None): (source)

DNSServerFactory.messageReceived is called by protocols which are under the control of this DNSServerFactory whenever they receive a DNS query message or an unexpected / duplicate / late DNS response message.

DNSServerFactory.allowQuery is called with the received message, protocol and origin address. If it returns False, a dns.EREFUSED response is sent back to the client.

Otherwise the received message is dispatched to one of DNSServerFactory.handleQuery, DNSServerFactory.handleInverseQuery, DNSServerFactory.handleStatus, DNSServerFactory.handleNotify, or DNSServerFactory.handleOther depending on the OPCODE of the received message.

If DNSServerFactory.verbose is >0 all received messages will be logged in more or less detail depending on the value of verbose.

ParametersmessageThe DNS message that was received. (type: dns.Message)
protoThe DNS protocol instance which received the message (type: dns.DNSDatagramProtocol or dns.DNSProtocol)
addressThe address from which the message was received. Only provided for messages received by datagram protocols. The origin of Messages received from stream protocols can be gleaned from the protocol transport attribute. (type: tuple or None)
def allowQuery(self, message, protocol, address): (source)

Called by DNSServerFactory.messageReceived to decide whether to process a received message or to reply with dns.EREFUSED.

This default implementation permits anything but empty queries.

Override in a subclass to implement alternative policies.

ParametersmessageThe DNS message that was received. (type: dns.Message)
protocolThe DNS protocol instance which received the message (type: dns.DNSDatagramProtocol or dns.DNSProtocol)
addressThe address from which the message was received. Only provided for messages received by datagram protocols. The origin of Messages received from stream protocols can be gleaned from the protocol transport attribute. (type: tuple or None)
ReturnsTrue if the received message contained one or more queries, else False. (type: bool)
