Hi all, As Willy said, I'm reviewing the internal DNS architecture to make it fully autonomous and more flexible with a registration mechanism and callbacks system. First purpose is to mutualise DNS resources (cache of the response, one resolution at a time for a query), second is to enable dns resolution for more objects in haproxy (backends with srv records, converters for resolution at run time,...). As a side effect, checks won't be mandatory anymore to start up dns resolution. The converter may be available in haproxy 1.9, next year while I'll get support and resources from haproxy.com to get srv records asap, in 1.8 if possible.

I found DNS infrastructure improved a lot this year, so I ask it again, hope it is not so stupid :-) On Sat, May 13, 2017 at 7:19 AM, Willy Tarreau <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Igor, > > On Sat, May 13, 2017 at 12:58:19AM +0800, Igor Pav wrote: >> Hi list, >> >> Is now there's a converter for hostname to IPv4 available in haproxy? > > Funny that you asked the same question one year ago, but you didn't get > a response, you are patient :-) > > Server addresses can be dynamically resolved now, but that's all.
