resolv-macosOn macOS/darwin, libresolv supports multiple resolvers. This allows users, VPN
clients, etc. to delegate queries for certain domains to other resolvers, in
addition to the "Super Resolver" specified by /etc/resolv.conf. An example of
this would be using something like dnsmasq or launchdns to resolve a
Special Use Domain (described by RFC 6761)
for local development like *.localhost or *.test
This is supported transparently via the gethostbyname and getaddrinfo C
calls, but when replacing use of those APIs w/ Resolv, these resolutions no
longer happen automatically.
This Gem patches the default behavior of the Resolv gem to include these
additional resolvers in the default set, if they exist. (Using public APIs,
there's no monkey-patching here.)
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'resolv-macos'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install resolv-macos
No special usage instructions. The Gem will patch Resolv to automatically
provide support for multiple resolvers on macOS, a la the default behavior for
getaddrinfo. On platforms other than macOS, this gem does nothing.
