:globe_with_meridians: A dns server and client implementation in node.js

dns2

A DNS server and client implementation

Installation

$ npm install dns2

Example Client

Lookup any records available for the domain lsong.org.

const dns = require('dns2');

var packet = new dns.Packet();

packet.questions.push({
  name : 'lsong.org',
  type : dns.Packet.TYPE.ANY,
  class: dns.Packet.CLASS.IN
});

dns.send(packet, function(err, res){
  console.log(err, res);
});

Example Server

Respond to any DNS request on UDP port 5353 with 8.8.8.8, a Google Public DNS server address.

const dns = require('dns2');

const server = dns.createServer(function(request,send){
  
  const response = new dns.Packet(request);
  
  response.header.qr = 1;
  response.answers.push({
    address: '8.8.8.8',
    type: dns.Packet.TYPE.A,
    class: dns.Packet.CLASS.IN
  });
  
  send(response);
}).listen(5353);

Then you can test your DNS server:

$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p5353 lsong.org

Note that when implementing your own lookups, the contents of the query will be found in request.questions[0].name.
