# salt.modules.dig

Compendium of generic DNS utilities

`salt.modules.dig.` `A`(host, nameserver=None)

  Return the A record for `host`.

  Always returns a list.

  CLI Example:

      salt ns1 dig.A www.google.com

`salt.modules.dig.` `MX`(domain, resolve=False, nameserver=None)

  Return a list of lists for the MX of `domain`.

  If the `resolve` argument is True, resolve IPs for the servers.

  It's limited to one IP, because although in practice it's very rarely a round robin, it is an acceptable configuration and pulling just one IP lets the data be similar to the non-resolved version. If you think an MX has multiple IPs, don't use the resolver here, resolve them in a separate step.

  CLI Example:

      salt ns1 dig.MX google.com

`salt.modules.dig.` `NS`(domain, resolve=True, nameserver=None)

  Return a list of IPs of the nameservers for `domain`

  If `resolve` is False, don't resolve names.

  CLI Example:

      salt ns1 dig.NS google.com

`salt.modules.dig.` `SPF`(domain, record='SPF', nameserver=None)

  Return the allowed IPv4 ranges in the SPF record for `domain`.

  If record is `SPF` and the SPF record is empty, the TXT record will be searched automatically. If you know the domain uses TXT and not SPF, specifying that will save a lookup.

  CLI Example:

      salt ns1 dig.SPF google.com

`salt.modules.dig.` `check_ip`(x)

  Check that string x is a valid IP

  CLI Example:

      salt ns1 dig.check_ip 127.0.0.1
