I would like to do something like an "nslookup" to resolve an address of a site through my DNS servers, because in the example below, I only get through DNS that I have in my machine.
How could I tell the IP of my server to resolve the Google address for example?
import socket
dns = socket.gethostbyname('www.google.com')
print(dns)
Natively there seems to be no way to do this.
Alternatively, you can use the dns.resolver module. of the dnspython tool set.
To install in Ubuntu / Debian, via apt-get , do:
sudo apt-get install python-dnspython
If you prefer to install via pip :
sudo pip install dnspython
To indicate the server, use the nameservers of the object Resolver .
import dns.resolver
resolver = dns.resolver.Resolver(configure=False)
# 8.8.8.8 é o DNS público do Google
resolver.nameservers = ['8.8.8.8']
answers = resolver.query('google.com')
for rdata in answers:
print (rdata.address)
