Net::DNS README

============

This is a port of the Perl Net::DNS module, written by Michael Fuhr

and now currently maintained by Olaf Kolkman (www.net-dns.org). It

keeps the same interfaces and function names, although has a bit

improved OO and some other stuff.

It can be used to query DNS servers for various kind of records, perform

zone transfer and dynamic updates. It has even a class for acting as a

nameserver.

This version is quite incomplete. You can use it as a resolver.

Requirements

------------

* Ruby 1.6

Install

-------

De-compress archive and enter its top directory.

Then type:

($ su)

# ruby setup.rb

These simple step installs this program under the default

location of Ruby libraries. You can also install files into

your favorite directory by supplying setup.rb some options.

Try "ruby setup.rb --help".

Usage

-----

Have a look on the manual pages.

In doc/ you will find many useful documents too.

License

-------

Net::DNS is distributed under the same license Ruby is.
