I have implemented, thanks to the dnspython list, a simple DNS server.
Here is the code: It simply responds with a TXT record. I am hosting the
script as the NS server for example.com. The NS server is x.y.z.k. It
works fine when I issue something like:
dig demo.example.com @x.y.z.k
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.1 <<>> demo.example.com @x.y.z.k
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 10028
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;demo.example.com. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
demo.example.com. 1000 IN TXT "test message"
but it does not work when I ask the very same question from one of the
public name servers (For example Sun's DNS at 4.2.2.1):
dig demo.example.com @4.2.2.1
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.1 <<>> demo.example.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 10905
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;demo.example.com. IN A
;; Query time: 5837 msec

Do you guys have any idea what is wrong? Interestingly if I change
the response type to something like CNAME, instead of TXT,
it works fine.
Here is the code:
def dns_respond(resp, q, data_type):
rrset = dns.rrset.from_text(q.name, 1000,
dns.rdataclass.IN, dns.rdatatype.TXT, 'test message')
resp.answer.append(rrset)
return resp
def dns_ok(resp, q, data = None, msg = ''):
return dns_respond(resp = resp, q = q, data_type = 'OK')
def dns_error(resp, q):
return dns_respond(resp = resp, q = q, data_type = 'Error')
def requestHandler(address, message):
resp = None
message_id = ord(message[0]) * 256 + ord(message[1])
logging.debug('msg id = ' + str(message_id))
if message_id in serving_ids:
# the request is already taken, drop this message
logging.debug('I am already serving this request.')
return
serving_ids.append(message_id)
msg = dns.message.from_wire(message)
op = msg.opcode()
if op == 0:
# standard and inverse query
qs = msg.question
if len(qs) > 0:
q = qs[0]
logging.debug('request is ' + str(q))
if q.rdtype == dns.rdatatype.A:
resp = std_qry(msg)
else:
# not implemented
#resp = std_qry(msg)
resp = make_response(qry=msg, RCODE=4)
else:
# not implemented
resp = make_response(qry=msg, RCODE=4)
if resp:
s.sendto(resp.to_wire(), address)
def std_qry(msg):
qs = msg.question
logging.debug(str(len(qs)) + ' questions.')
answers = []
nxdomain = False
for q in qs:
resp = make_response(qry=msg)
logging.critical('Sending...')
return dns_ok(resp, q)
def make_response(qry=None, id=None, RCODE=0):
if qry is None and id is None:
raise Exception, 'bad use of make_response'
if qry is None:
resp = dns.message.Message(id)
# QR = 1
resp.flags |= dns.flags.QR
if RCODE != 1:
raise Exception, 'bad use of make_response'
else:
resp = dns.message.make_response(qry)
#resp.flags |= dns.flags.AA
resp.flags |= dns.flags.RA
resp.set_rcode(RCODE)
return resp
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
s.bind(('', 53))
logging.debug('binded to UDP port 53.')
serving_ids = []
while True:
logging.debug('waiting requests.')
message, address = s.recvfrom(1024)
logging.debug('serving a request.')
requestHandler(address, message)
