Crate dns

DNS support for Rama.

Hickory Dns

Hickory Dns is a Rust based DNS client, server, and resolver, built to be safe and secure from the ground up. It is the default (and only) dns provider for Rama.

By implementing the DnsResolver and optionally also using try_init_global_dns_resolver you can set however any kind of DnsResolver you wish.

More info about hickory dns can be found at https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns.

Global DNS resolver

Rama uses by default a global and shared dns resolver. The default one for this is the Default HickoryDns value, which on unix and windows platforms is pulled from the system if possible, and as a fallback or on all other platforms the default cloudflare config is used.

Thank you cloudflare.

Use try_init_global_dns_resolver or init_global_dns_resolver to set the global DnsResolver as early as possible (e.g. at the top of your main function).

Use global_dns_resolver should you have a need for this global DnsResolver yourself.

The global dns resolver can be lazily fetched by making use of GlobalDnsResolver which allows you to create it only when actually using it. Great in case you need to have a DnsResolver value that you do not wish to do any work for, until you “really” need it.
