dq) object¶Apart from the ipfilter()-function, all functions work on a dq (DNSQuestion) object.
This object contains details about the current state of the question.
This state can be modified from the various hooks.
The DNSQuestion object contains at least the following fields:
DNSQuestion¶An object that contains everything about the current query. This object has the following attributes:
addPaddingToResponse¶New in version 4.5.0.
Whether the response will get EDNS Padding. See edns-padding-from and edns-padding-mode.
extendedErrorCode¶New in version 4.5.0.
The extended error code, if any. See extended-resolution-errors.
extendedErrorExtra¶New in version 4.5.0.
The extended error extra text, as a string, if any. See extended-resolution-errors.
qtype¶Type this query is for as an integer, can be compared against pdns.A, pdns.AAAA.
rcode¶current DNS Result Code, which can be overridden, including to several magical values.
Before 4.4.0, the rcode can be set to pdns.DROP to drop the query, for later versions refer to Callback Semantics.
Other statuses are normal DNS return codes, like pdns.NOERROR, pdns.NXDOMAIN etc.
isTcp¶Whether the query was received over TCP.
remoteaddr¶ComboAddress of the requestor.
If the proxy protocol is used, this will contain the source address from the proxy protocol header.
localaddr¶ComboAddress where this query was received on.
If the proxy protocol is used, this will contain the destination address from the proxy protocol header.
interface_remoteaddr¶Source ComboAddress of the packet received by the recursor. If the proxy protocol is not used, the value will match remoteaddr.
interface_localaddr¶Destination ComboAddress of the packet received by the recursor. If the proxy protocol is not used, the value will match localaddr.
variable¶Boolean which, if set, indicates the recursor should not packet cache this answer. Honored even when returning false from a hook! Important when providing answers that vary over time or based on sender details.
followupFunction¶String that signals the nameserver to take one an additional action:
appliedPolicy¶The decision that was made by the policy engine, see Modifying Policy Decisions.
appliedPolicy.policyName¶A string with the name of the policy.
Set by policyName in the rpzFile() and rpzPrimary() configuration items.
It is advised to overwrite this when modifying the DNSQuestion.appliedPolicy.policyKind
appliedPolicy.policyType¶The type of match for the policy.
pdns.policytypes.None the empty policy typepdns.policytypes.QName a match on qnamepdns.policytypes.ClientIP a match on client IPpdns.policytypes.ResponseIP a match on response IPpdns.policytypes.NSDName a match on the name of a nameserverpdns.policytypes.NSIP a match on the IP of a nameserverappliedPolicy.policyCustom¶The CNAME content for the pdns.policyactions.Custom response, a string
appliedPolicy.policyKind¶The kind of policy response, there are several policy kinds:
pdns.policykinds.Custom will return a NoError, CNAME answer with the value specified in DNSQuestion.appliedPolicy.policyCustompdns.policykinds.Drop will simply cause the query to be droppedpdns.policykinds.NoAction will continue normal processing of the querypdns.policykinds.NODATA will return a NoError response with no value in the answer sectionpdns.policykinds.NXDOMAIN will return a response with a NXDomain rcodepdns.policykinds.Truncate will return a NoError, no answer, truncated response over UDP. Normal processing will continue over TCPappliedPolicy.policyTTL¶The TTL in seconds for the pdns.policyactions.Custom response
appliedPolicy.policyTrigger¶The trigger (left-hand) part of the RPZ rule that was matched
appliedPolicy.policyHit¶The value that was matched. This is a string representing a name or an address.
wantsRPZ¶A boolean that indicates the use of the Policy Engine.
Can be set to false in prerpz to disable RPZ for this query.
data¶A Lua object reference that is persistent throughout the lifetime of the DNSQuestion object for a single query.
It can be used to store custom data.
Most scripts initialise this to an empty table early on so they can store multiple items.
requestorId¶New in version 4.1.0.
A string that will be used to set the requestorId field in protobuf messages.
deviceId¶New in version 4.1.0.
A string that will be used to set the deviceId field in protobuf messages.
deviceName¶New in version 4.3.0.
A string that will be used to set the deviceName field in protobuf messages.
udpAnswer¶Answer to the udpQuery when using the udpQueryResponse followupFunction.
Only filled when the call-back function is invoked.
udpQueryDest¶Destination IP address to send the UDP packet to when using the udpQueryResponse followupFunction
udpQuery¶The content of the UDP payload when using the udpQueryResponse followupFunction
udpCallback¶The name of the callback function that is called when using the udpQueryResponse followupFunction when an answer is received.
validationState¶New in version 4.1.0.
The result of the DNSSEC validation, accessible from the postresolve, nxdomain and nodata hooks.
Possible states are pdns.validationstates.Indeterminate, pdns.validationstates.Bogus, pdns.validationstates.Insecure and pdns.validationstates.Secure.
The result will always be pdns.validationstates.Indeterminate if validation is disabled or was not requested.
detailedValidationState¶New in version 4.4.2.
The result of the DNSSEC validation, accessible from the postresolve, nxdomain and nodata hooks.
By contrast with validationState, there are several Bogus states to be
able to better understand the reason for a DNSSEC validation failure.
Possible states are:
pdns.validationstates.Indeterminatepdns.validationstates.BogusNoValidDNSKEYpdns.validationstates.BogusInvalidDenialpdns.validationstates.BogusUnableToGetDSspdns.validationstates.BogusUnableToGetDNSKEYspdns.validationstates.BogusSelfSignedDSpdns.validationstates.BogusNoRRSIGpdns.validationstates.BogusNoValidRRSIGpdns.validationstates.BogusMissingNegativeIndicationpdns.validationstates.BogusSignatureNotYetValidpdns.validationstates.BogusSignatureExpiredpdns.validationstates.BogusUnsupportedDNSKEYAlgopdns.validationstates.BogusUnsupportedDSDigestTypepdns.validationstates.BogusNoZoneKeyBitSetpdns.validationstates.BogusRevokedDNSKEYpdns.validationstates.BogusInvalidDNSKEYProtocolpdns.validationstates.Insecurepdns.validationstates.SecureThe result will always be pdns.validationstates.Indeterminate is validation is disabled or was not requested.
There is a convenience function named isValidationStateBogus that accepts such a state and return a boolean
indicating whether this state is a Bogus one.
logResponse¶New in version 4.2.0.
Whether the response to this query will be exported to a remote protobuf logger, if one has been configured.
tag¶The packetcache tag set via gettag() or gettag_ffi().
Default tag is zero. Internally to the recursor, the tag is interpreted as an unsigned 32-bit integer.
queryTime¶New in version 4.8.0.
The time the query was received
queryTime.tv_sec¶The number of seconds since the Unix epoch.
queryTime.tv_usec¶The number of microseconds, to be added to the number of seconds in DNSQuestion.queryTime.tv_sec to get a high accuracy timestamp.
