SETTING UP
Setting up
==========
To set up this facility, the /etc/request-key.conf file must be altered so that
/sbin/request-key can appropriately direct the upcalls. For example, to handle
basic dname to IPv4/IPv6 address resolution, the following line should be
added:

To direct a query for query type 'foo', a line of the following should be added
before the more general line given above as the first match is the one taken.

This is the basic access function. It looks for a cached DNS query and if
it doesn't find it, it upcalls to userspace to make a new DNS query, which
may then be cached. The key description is constructed as a string of the
form:
