The Domain Name System (DNS) is the giant, global, database of names that translate human text names (like say capesoft.com) into IP addresses.

NetTalk contains some utility functions for reading DNS values from the "global database". These are documented on the Utility Functions page.

NetTalk also contains a NetDNS class which is used as a client, to Domain Name Service providers. This document serves to document that class.

This class allows you to add, read, edit and remove Domain Name records from the DNS database. Not all service providers provide an API though. This class currently works with the following providers;

• DNSimple (link includes our affiliate ID. If you DO sign up, we get $5, and you get a $5 credit :) )

To make use of this class you will need to have a domain registered with one of the providers listed above. Additional providers can be added, and derived classes are easily added to the system.

This class is included with all levels of NetTalk, including NetTalk Desktop.

App	Description
\Demo\ABC	An ABC Template based interactive program that exercises methods in the NetDNS Class.
\Demo\Legacy	A Clarion Template based interactive program that exercises methods in the NetDNS Class.
\apiServer\DnsApi	Source code to the NetTalk DNS API Server.
\apiClient\DnsApiClient	An example program which talks to the NetTalk DNS API server and retrieves a certificate. This example is useful for testing the API, but also for fetching certificates generated by the API server. This program is not needed for Web Servers implementing the API Challenge Certificate method, however it allows for certificates to be fetched from other machines if the server machine is not able to reach the internet. (In other words it allows you to get a certificate for the domain from a completely unrelated machine.)
