I am reading the documentation for the ipops module
dns_int_match_ip() function and it states the following:<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial;
font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;
font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal;
orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;
text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1;
word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline
!important; float: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Returns
TRUE if ipaddr is associated by DNS to hostname. FALSE otherwise.
It uses internal DNS resolver. At this moment, the function might
not check all the IP addresses as returned by dns_sys_match_ip(),
because the internal resolver targets to discover the first
address to be used for relaying SIP traffic. Thus is better to use
dns_sys_match_ip() if the host you want to check has many IP
addresses, in different address famililies (IPv4/6)."<br>
<br>
I am not sure what that statement means. I will be using this for
IP authentication where the records it is checking against are in
a mysql database and may or may not be be using the DNS name
instead of the IP. Many of those DNS names could return several
IP addresses and the incoming call could be on any one of those IP
addresses. So when I do a check of a hostname against an IP
address I want all returned A or srv IP's to be checked against
the IP. Not just the first IP returned when checked. I do not
believe dns_sys_match() will be fast enough on a busy server so I
would prefer to using dns_int_match_ip(). <br>
<br>
If anyone can clarify what that statement means regarding
"internal resolver targets to discover the first address" and
whether that would affect my use it would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
On a related note, is there any way to check the contents of the
dns resolver cache? I looked through kamctl and kamcmd but didn't
find anything. I tried "kamctl address show" but that didn't
return anything. <br>
