NAME

Net::DNS::RR::DELEG - DNS DELEG resource record

SYNOPSIS

	use Net::DNS;
	$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG DIRECT=nameserver IPv4=192.0.2.1');
	$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG DIRECT IPv6=2001:db8::53');
	$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG INCLUDE=targetname');

DESCRIPTION

The DNS DELEG resource record set, wherever it appears, advertises the authoritative nameservers and transport parameters to be used to resolve queries for data at the owner name or any subordinate thereof.

The DELEG RRset is authoritative data within the delegating zone and must not appear at the apex of the subordinate zone.

The DELEG class is derived from, and inherits properties of, the Net::DNS::RR::SVCB class.

METHODS

The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific methods defined in this package.

Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour.

DIRECT

	example. DELEG DIRECT=nameserver
	example. DELEG DIRECT=nameserver IPv6=2001:db8::53
	example. DELEG DIRECT IPv4=192.0.2.1 IPv6=2001:db8::53
	$nameserver = $rr->targetname;

Specifies the nameserver domain name, which may be absent, and sets DIRECT mode (non-zero SvcPriority).

INCLUDE

	example. DELEG INCLUDE=targetname
	$targetname = $rr->targetname;

Specifies the location of an external nameserver configuration and sets INCLUDE mode (zero SvcPriority).

priority

	example. DELEG DIRECT=nameserver priority=123
	$priority = $rr->priority;

Gets or sets the priority value for the DELEG record. An exception will be raised for any attempt to set a non-zero priority for INCLUDE.

targetname

	$target = $rr->targetname;

Returns the target domain name or the undefined value if not specified.

IPv4, ipv4

	example. DELEG DIRECT IPv4=192.0.2.1
	@ip = $rr->IPv4;

Sets or gets the list of IP addresses.

IPv6, ipv6

	example. DELEG DIRECT IPv6=2001:db8::53
