No DNS TTL information in net.LookupSRV()

[fyodor]

Is there a way to obtain TTL information from through the DNS lookup methods in the net package?

I'm implementing a component that uses SRV records from a DNS server and i noticed TTL number aren't returned with the net.LookupSRV function.

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/0104a31b8fbcbe52728a08867b26415d282c35d2/src/net/dnsclient.go#L187

The TTL information is in the DNS header returned in the response but i can't see a way just getting the header.

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/net/dnsmsg.go#L126

Would it be worth my while to implement something for this and submit this for inclusion in a forthcoming release of Go?

Thx!

It seems reasonable to me. You should your API proposal to golang-dev
before you much time into it.

Did anything move on this front ? I've the same problem, in look for a TTL value for my lookups...

Is there a TTL support in GoLang DNS, or if it was implemented in a later release, please suggest.

would https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/miekg/dns be an option instead of the std lib?
