dnsjava Examples

All of these examples are code fragments. Code using these fragments should check exceptions when appropriate, and should:

import org.xbill.DNS.*;

Get the IP address associated with a name

InetAddress addr = Address.getByName("www.dnsjava.org");

Get the MX target and preference of a name (modern)

LookupSession s = LookupSession.defaultBuilder().build();
Name mxLookup = Name.fromString("gmail.com.");
s.lookupAsync(mxLookup, Type.MX)
    .whenComplete(
        (answers, ex) -> {
          if (ex == null) {
            if (answers.getRecords().isEmpty()) {
              System.out.println(mxLookup + " has no MX");
            } else {
              for (Record rec : answers.getRecords()) {
                MXRecord mx = ((MXRecord) rec);
                System.out.println(
                    "Host " + mx.getTarget() + " has preference " + mx.getPriority());
              }
            }
          } else {
            ex.printStackTrace();
          }
        })
    .toCompletableFuture()
    .get();

Get the MX target and preference of a name (legacy)

Record[] records = new Lookup("gmail.com", Type.MX).run();
for (int i = 0; i < records.length; i++) {
    MXRecord mx = (MXRecord) records[i];
    System.out.println("Host " + mx.getTarget() + " has preference " + mx.getPriority());
}

Simple lookup with a Resolver

Record queryRecord = Record.newRecord(Name.fromString("dnsjava.org."), Type.A, DClass.IN);
Message queryMessage = Message.newQuery(queryRecord);
Resolver r = new SimpleResolver("8.8.8.8");
r.sendAsync(queryMessage)
    .whenComplete(
        (answer, ex) -> {
          if (ex == null) {
            System.out.println(answer);
          } else {
            ex.printStackTrace();
          }
        })
    .toCompletableFuture()
    .get();

Query a remote name server for its version

Lookup l = new Lookup("version.bind.", Type.TXT, DClass.CH);
l.setResolver(new SimpleResolver(args[0]));
l.run();
if (l.getResult() == Lookup.SUCCESSFUL) {
    System.out.println(l.getAnswers()[0].rdataToString());
}

Transfer a zone from a server and print it

ZoneTransferIn xfr = ZoneTransferIn.newAXFR(Name.root, "192.5.5.241", null);
xfr.run();
for (Record r : xfr.getAXFR()) {
    System.out.println(r);
}

Use DNS dynamic update to set the address of a host to a value specified on the command line

Name zone = Name.fromString("dyn.test.example.");
Name host = Name.fromString("host", zone);
Update update = new Update(zone);
update.replace(host, Type.A, 3600, args[0]);

Resolver res = new SimpleResolver("10.0.0.1");
res.setTSIGKey(new TSIG(host, base64.fromString("1234")));
res.setTCP(true);

Message response = res.send(update);

Manipulate domain names

Name n = Name.fromString("www.dnsjava.org");
Name o = Name.fromString("dnsjava.org");
System.out.println(n.subdomain(o));            // True

System.out.println(n.compareTo(o));            // > 0

Name rel = n.relativize(o);                    // the relative name 'www'
Name n2 = Name.concatenate(rel, o);
System.out.println(n2.equals(n));              // True

// www
// dnsjava
// org
for (int i = 0; i < n.labels(); i++) {
    System.out.println(n.getLabelString(i));
}
