Retryable dns resolver

Based on miekg/dns and freely inspired by bogdanovich/dns_resolver.

Features

Using go get

$ go get github.com/projectdiscovery/retryabledns

After this command retryabledns library source will be in your $GOPATH

/etc/hosts file processing

By default, the library processes the /etc/hosts file up to a maximum amount of lines for efficiency (4096). If your setup has a larger hosts file and you want to process more lines, you can easily configure this limit by adjusting the hostsfile.MaxLines variable.

For example:

hostsfile.MaxLines = 10000  // Now the library will process up to 10000 lines from the hosts file

Example

Usage Example:

package main

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/projectdiscovery/retryabledns"
    "github.com/miekg/dns"
)

func main() {
    // It requires a list of resolvers.
    // Valid protocols are "udp", "tcp", "doh", "dot". Default are "udp".
    resolvers := []string{"8.8.8.8:53", "8.8.4.4:53", "tcp:1.1.1.1"}
    retries := 2
    hostname := "hackerone.com"

    dnsClient, err := retryabledns.New(resolvers, retries)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    ips, err := dnsClient.Resolve(hostname)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    log.Println(ips)

    // Query Types: dns.TypeA, dns.TypeNS, dns.TypeCNAME, dns.TypeSOA, dns.TypePTR, dns.TypeMX, dns.TypeANY
    // dns.TypeTXT, dns.TypeAAAA, dns.TypeSRV (from github.com/miekg/dns)
    // retryabledns.ErrRetriesExceeded will be returned if a result isn't returned in max retries
    dnsResponses, err := dnsClient.Query(hostname, dns.TypeA)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    log.Println(dnsResponses)
}
