Class Method Details

.run_server(options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Run a server with the given rules. A number of options can be supplied:

:interfaces

A set of sockets or addresses as defined below.

One important feature of DNS is the port it runs on. The options[:listen] allows you to specify a set of network interfaces and ports to run the server on. This must be a list of [protocol, interface address, port].

INTERFACES = [[:udp, "0.0.0.0", 5300]]
RubyDNS::run_server(:listen => INTERFACES) do
  ...
end

You can specify already connected sockets if need be:

socket = UDPSocket.new; socket.bind("0.0.0.0", 53)
Process::Sys.setuid(server_uid)
INTERFACES = [socket]

The default interface is [[:udp, "0.0.0.0", 53]]. The server typically needs to run as root for this to work, since port 53 is privileged.
