NAME

Net::DNS::Method::Pool - A DNS resolver that handles the names for address pools

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::DNS::Method::Pool;

  my $Pool = new Net::DNS::Method::Pool { 
      Prefix => 'dhcp-',
      BaseDomain => 'pool.x.com',
      Pool => [ "10.0.0.0/16", "10.1.0.0/16" ],
      ttl => 3600
      };

DESCRIPTION

This class adds support for naming ranges of IP addresses using rules. It supports answers to A and PTR queries, so that proper forward and reverse references can be implemented.

The example above, will answer a PTR query for any address in the 10.0.0.0/15 range. A query for the PTR of 10.0.0.1 will return

    1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR dhcp-10-0-0-1.pool.x.com

While a query for dhcp-10-1-1-1.pool.x.com will return

    dhcp-10-1-1-1.pool.x.com. IN A 10.1.1.1

The TTL for the answer is controlled by the value of ttl in the hash reference passed to ->new().

EXPORT

None by default.
