Using Python to send a DNS update packet

[Matt Whiteley]

Hello all,

I want to use Python to send a request to a Microsft DNS server to tell it
to update an A record. Ideally, this would be a secure update but primarily,
an unsecure one would do. Are there any python modules that will let me do
it or is there some code knocking around I could use ?

Thanks
Matt

Search for pydns or dnslib. One of them was dead and replaced by another
project but I dont remember.

twisted is a project to give easy networking support to python. Should get
you up and running pretty quickly.

The NSUpdate class from my Newtrino project at:

http://subwiki.honeypot.net/cgi-bin/view/Freebsd/NewTrino

uses the Unix `nsupdate' command to send TSIG-authenticated update messages
to a BIND 9 DNS. It may or may not work with an MS DNS - I haven't tested
it in that configuration - but it should be easy enough to adapt it to do
so.
