DNS Answers

See original GitHub issue

There doesn’t appear to be a way to get all the IP answers sent in a DNS response. While dns.count.answers gives the correct number of answers, dns.a will only return the first answer IP, rather than a list of all the answer IPs given.

Figured out how to do this. dns.a.all_fields will give you all answers in a list.

I found: len(dns.a.all_fields) = dns.count_answer + dns.count_auth_rr

Is there document for this?

I’m curious about this as well. In a DNS response packet, how do we map a domain to an IP, when the response contains additional RRs and/or NS records? For example, since dns.resp_name.all_fields will list all domains (across different record types, additional RRs, NS etc.), how do we map an entry in e.g. dns.a.all_fields, dns.aaaa.all_fields etc. to a domain in dns.resp_name.all_fields?
