Net::DN...R::DELEG(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::DNS::RR::DELEG — the DNS DELEG resource record, bestie 💖 (and yes, this is the Net::DN...R::DELEG(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, so you're in the right place ✨)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's how you actually make one of these bad boys:

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG server-ipv4=192.0.2.1 ...');
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG server-ipv6=2001:db8::53 ...');
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG server-name=nameserver.example ...');
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('zone DELEG include-delegparam=provider.example');

like, pick your flavor, they're all iconic 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

The DNS DELEG resource record set — no matter where it shows up — designates the authoritative nameservers and transport parameters that get used to resolve queries for data at the owner name or anything under it. basically it's the main character telling everyone where to go 👑

The DELEG RRset is authoritative data within the delegating zone. periodt.

⚠️ real talk though: a DELEG RRset must not appear at the apex of a delegated zone. not it. don't do that. 💀

✨ METHODS ✨

The available methods are the ones inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific ones defined in this package. that's the whole vibe 🫶

🙈 Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged — and it could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. so like… don't poke the bear, bestie. 😭

🎀 server_ipv4

eg.example. DELEG server-ipv4=192.0.2.1,...
@ip = $rr->server_ipv4;

Sets or gets a list of IP addresses. that's it, that's the function ✨

🌈 server_ipv6

eg.example. DELEG server-ipv6=2001:db8::53,...
@ip = $rr->server_ipv6;

Sets or gets a list of IP addresses. same energy, v6 edition 💅

🧚 server_name

eg.example. DELEG server-name=nameserver.example.
$nameserver = $rr->server_name;

Specifies the domain name of the nameserver. 📛

Returns the nameserver domain name — or the undefined value if it's not specified. (undefined is giving mysterious 🫥)

🍓 include_delegparam

eg.example. DELEG include-delegparam=provider.example.
$destination = $rr->include_delegparam;

Specifies the location of a devolved nameserver configuration. fancy 👑

Returns the destination domain name — or the undefined value if not specified.
