=head1 NAME
Net::DNS::Update - Create a DNS update packet
=head1 SYNOPSIS
C<use Net::DNS::Update;>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Net::DNS::Update> is a subclass of C<Net::DNS::Packet>,
to be used for making DNS dynamic updates. Programmers
should refer to RFC 2136 for the semantics of dynamic updates.
WARNING: This code is still under development. Please use with
caution on production nameservers.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
$packet = Net::DNS::Update->new;
$packet = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
$packet = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com', 'HS');
Returns a C<Net::DNS::Update> object suitable for performing a DNS
dynamic update. Specifically, it creates a packet with the header
opcode set to UPDATE and the zone record type to SOA (per RFC 2136,
Section 2.3).
Programs must use the C<push> method to add RRs to the prerequisite,
update, and additional sections before performing the update.
Arguments are the zone name and the class. If the zone is omitted,
the default domain will be taken from the resolver configuration.
If the class is omitted, it defaults to IN.
Future versions of C<Net::DNS> may provide a simpler interface
for making dynamic updates.

=head1 EXAMPLES
The first example below shows a complete program; subsequent examples
show only the creation of the update packet.
=head2 Add a new host
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::DNS;
use strict;
# Create the update packet.
my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
# Prerequisite is that no A records exist for the name.
$update->push(pre => nxrrset('foo.example.com. A'));
# Add two A records for the name.
$update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com. 86400 A 192.168.1.2'));
$update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com. 86400 A 172.16.3.4'));
# Send the update to the zone's primary master.
my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
$res->nameservers('primary-master.example.com');
my $reply = $res->send($update);
# Did it work?
if ($reply) {
if ($reply->header->rcode eq 'NOERROR') {
print "Update succeeded\n";
} else {
print 'Update failed: ', $reply->header->rcode, "\n";
}
} else {
print 'Update failed: ', $res->errorstring, "\n";
}
=head2 Add an MX record for a name that already exists
my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
$update->push(pre => yxdomain('example.com'));
$update->push(update => rr_add('example.com MX 10 mailhost.example.com'));
=head2 Add a TXT record for a name that doesn't exist
my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
$update->push(pre => nxdomain('info.example.com'));
$update->push(update => rr_add('info.example.com TXT "yabba dabba doo"'));
=head2 Delete all A records for a name
my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
$update->push(pre => yxrrset('foo.example.com A'));
$update->push(update => rr_del('foo.example.com A'));
=head2 Delete all RRs for a name
my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
$update->push(pre => yxdomain('byebye.example.com'));
$update->push(update => rr_del('byebye.example.com'));
=head2 Perform a signed update
my $key_name = 'tsig-key';
my $key = 'awwLOtRfpGE+rRKF2+DEiw==';
my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
$update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com A 10.1.2.3'));
$update->push(update => rr_add('bar.example.com A 10.4.5.6'));
$update->sign_tsig($key_name, $key);
=head2 Another way to perform a signed update
my $key_name = 'tsig-key';
my $key = 'awwLOtRfpGE+rRKF2+DEiw==';
my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
$update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com A 10.1.2.3'));
$update->push(update => rr_add('bar.example.com A 10.4.5.6'));
$update->push(additional => Net::DNS::RR->new("$key_name TSIG $key"));
=head2 Perform a signed update with a customized TSIG record
my $key_name = 'tsig-key';
my $key = 'awwLOtRfpGE+rRKF2+DEiw==';
my $tsig = Net::DNS::RR->new("$key_name TSIG $key");
$tsig->fudge(60);
my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
$update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com A 10.1.2.3'));
$update->push(update => rr_add('bar.example.com A 10.4.5.6'));
$update->push(additional => $tsig);
