How does hobbit/bbtest-net use to get the dns query output? I am not
using the --no-ares hook. I thought it uses dig @server host, but I am
probably wrong about that.
It uses the c-ares library to perform the DNS queries, then formats the
results into what you see.
I was wondering if I there is a example query I can run to show
technical groups. Ofcourse the web shows the output but may be from cli
if I could run an example it would be cool.
If you compile the c-ares library - the source tar.gz file is included
in Hobbit - the output is very similar to that of the "adig" utility.
(I think you'll have to run "make adig" to build that).
