#   Unbound with pythonmodule configured for Python 3
#   dnspython [http://www.dnspython.org]
#   pydbus [https://github.com/LEW21/pydbus]
#
# To enable Python 3 support, configure Unbound as follows:
#   PYTHON_VERSION=3 ./configure --with-pythonmodule
#
# The plugin in meant to be used as a fallback resolver that resolves
# records in multicast DNS if the upstream server cannot be reached or
# provides no answer (NXDOMAIN).
#
# mDNS requests for negative records, i.e., records for which Avahi
# returns no answer (NXDOMAIN), are expensive. Since there is no
# single authoritative server in mDNS, such requests terminate only
# via a timeout. The timeout is about a second (if MDNS_TIMEOUT is not
# configured), or the value configured via MDNS_TIMEOUT. The
# corresponding Unbound thread will be blocked for this amount of
# time. For this reason, it is important to configure an appropriate
# number of threads in unbound.conf and limit the RR types and names
# that will be resolved via Avahi via the environment variables
# described later.
#
# An example unbound.conf with the plugin enabled:
#
# | server:
# |   module-config: "validator python iterator"
# |   num-threads: 32
# |   cache-max-negative-ttl: 60
# |   cache-max-ttl: 60
# | python:
# |   python-script: path/to/this/file
#
#
# The plugin can also be run interactively. Provide the name and
# record type to be resolved as command line arguments and the
# resolved record will be printed to standard output:
#
#   $ ./avahi-resolver.py voip-phx4.phxnet.org A
#   voip-phx4.phxnet.org. 120 IN A 10.4.3.2
#
#
# The behavior of the plugin can be controlled via the following
# environment variables:
#
# DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS
#
# The address of the system DBus bus, in the format expected by DBus,
# e.g., unix:path=/run/avahi/system-bus.sock
#
#
# DEBUG
#
# Set this environment variable to "yes", "true", "on", or "1" to
# enable debugging. In debugging mode, the plugin will output a lot
# more information about what it is doing either to the standard
# output (when run interactively) or to Unbound via log_info and
# log_error.
#
# By default debugging is disabled.
#
#
# MDNS_TTL
#
# Avahi does not provide the TTL value for the records it returns.
# This environment variable can be used to configure the TTL value for
# such records.
#
# The default value is 120 seconds.
#
#
# MDNS_TIMEOUT
#
# The maximum amount of time (in milliseconds) an Avahi request is
# allowed to run. This value sets the time it takes to resolve
# negative (non-existent) records in Avahi. If unset, the request
# terminates when Avahi sends the "AllForNow" signal, telling the
# client that more records are unlikely to arrive. This takes roughly
# about one second. You may need to configure a longer value here on
# slower networks, e.g., networks that relay mDNS packets such as
# MANETs.
#
#
# MDNS_GETONE
#
# If set to "true", "1", or "on", an Avahi request will terminate as
# soon as at least one record has been found. If there are multiple
# nodes in the mDNS network publishing the same record, only one (or
# subset) will be returned.
#
# If set to "false", "0", or "off", the plugin will gather records for
# MDNS_TIMEOUT and return all records found. This is only useful in
# networks where multiple nodes are known to publish different records
# under the same name and the client needs to be able to obtain them
# all. When configured this way, all Avahi requests will always take
# MDNS_TIMEOUT to complete!
#
# This option is set to true by default.
#
#
# MDNS_REJECT_TYPES
#
# A comma-separated list of record types that will NOT be resolved in
# mDNS via Avahi. Use this environment variable to prevent specific
# record types from being resolved via Avahi. For example, if your
# network does not support IPv6, you can put AAAA on this list.
#
# The default value is an empty list.
#
# Example: MDNS_REJECT_TYPES=aaaa,mx,soa
#
#
# MDNS_ACCEPT_TYPES
#
# If set, a record type will be resolved via Avahi if and only if it
# is present on this comma-separated list. In other words, this is a
# whitelist.
#
# The default value is an empty list which means all record types will
# be resolved via Avahi.
#
# Example: MDNS_ACCEPT_TYPES=a,ptr,txt,srv,aaaa,cname
#
#
# MDNS_REJECT_NAMES
#
# If the name being resolved matches the regular expression in this
# environment variable, the name will NOT be resolved via Avahi. In
# other words, this environment variable provides a blacklist.
#
# The default value is empty--no names will be reject.
#
# Example: MDNS_REJECT_NAMES=(^|\.)example\.com\.$
#
#
# MDNS_ACCEPT_NAMES
#
# If set to a regular expression, a name will be resolved via Avahi if
# and only if it matches the regular expression. In other words, this
# variable provides a whitelist.
#
# The default value is empty--all names will be resolved via Avahi.
#
# Example: MDNS_ACCEPT_NAMES=^.*\.example\.com\.$
