srvclient

A simple library for getting SRV DNS targets from something like SkyDNS.

Usage

var srv = require('srvclient');

Methods

srv.setServers(servers)

Set the DNS servers to use for resolution. Identical to dns.setServers

srv.getTargets(hostname, callback)

srv.getTargets(hostname, cache, callback)

Gets an array of targets for hostname weighted by lowest priority and highest weight. callback is called with (err, targets) where targets is an array of SRVTargets. cache is the number of milliseconds to cache the result.

srv.getTarget(hostname, callback)

srv.getTarget(hostname, cache, callback)

Exactly like srv.getTargets except the first SRVTarget is sent to callback instead of an array.

srv.getRandomTargets(hostname, callback)

srv.getRandomTargets(hostname, cache, callback)

Exactly like srv.getTargets except the array of targets is ordered by priority first and then weighted randomly.

srv.getRandomTarget(hostname, callback)

srv.getRandomTarget(hostname, cache, callback)

Exactly like srv.getRandomTargets except the first SRVTarget is sent to callback instead of an array.

SRVTarget

srv.name

The hostname of the target.

srv.port

The port of the target.

srv.resolve(callback)

srv.resolve4(callback)

Resolves the target to an IPv4 address. callback is called with (err, address). The result is cached for the life of the target.

srv.resolve6(callback)

Resolves the target to an IPv6 address. callback is called with (err, address). The result is cached for the life of the target.

srv.setPreprocessor(fn)

Sets a function that runs on a list of resolved targets. The function receives an array of unsorted targets and must return an array of targets to be sorted. The targets are cached after the preprocessor runs and therefore the preprocessor does not run when cache is hit.
