resolver_replace

resolver-replace

Replace the DNS resolver.

Installation

gem install resolver_replace

How it works

Ruby comes with a pure Ruby replacement, resolv-replace. It replaces the libc resolver with the built-in Resolv class which is a thread-aware DNS resolver library.

This gem works similarly, but allows to replace the resolver with your favorite resolver.

How to use

For example, if you want to replace the resolver with Resolv::DNS, write as followings:

require 'resolv' # Resolv::DNS
require 'resolver_replace' # ResolverReplace

resolver = Resolv::DNS.new(:nameserver => ['210.251.121.21'],
                           :search => ['ruby-lang.org'],
                           :ndots => 1)

ResolverReplace.register!(
  getaddress: Proc.new {|host| resolver.getaddress(host) },
  getaddresses: Proc.new {|host| resolver.getaddresses(host) },
  error_class: Resolv::ResolvError,
)

Plugin

Some gems like mysql2 implement its connection in its C extension without using ruby library. In such case, another monkeypatch must be applied. A plugin scheme of ResolveReplace is ready for such case.

The mysql2 plugin is available for example. Use as followings:

ResolverReplace.load_plugin('mysql2')
ResolverReplace.register!(
  getaddress: Proc.new {|host| resolver.getaddress(host) },
  getaddresses: Proc.new {|host| resolver.getaddresses(host) },
  error_class: Resolv::ResolvError,
)
