 "desc": "The <code>dns</code> module contains functions belonging to two different categories:\n1) Functions that use the underlying operating system facilities to perform\nname resolution, and that do not necessarily perform any network communication.\nThis category contains only one function: <a href=\"#dns_dns_lookup_hostname_options_callback\"><code>dns.lookup()</code></a>. Developers\nlooking to perform name resolution in the same way that other applications on\nthe same operating system behave should use <a href=\"#dns_dns_lookup_hostname_options_callback\"><code>dns.lookup()</code></a>.\nFor example, looking up <code>iana.org</code>.\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const dns = require('dns');\n\ndns.lookup('iana.org', (err, address, family) => {\n console.log('address: %j family: IPv%s', address, family);\n});\n// address: \"192.0.43.8\" family: IPv4\n</code></pre>\n2) Functions that connect to an actual DNS server to perform name resolution,\nand that always use the network to perform DNS queries. This category\ncontains all functions in the <code>dns</code> module except <a href=\"#dns_dns_lookup_hostname_options_callback\"><code>dns.lookup()</code></a>. These\nfunctions do not use the same set of configuration files used by\n<a href=\"#dns_dns_lookup_hostname_options_callback\"><code>dns.lookup()</code></a> (e.g. <code>/etc/hosts</code>). These functions should be used by\ndevelopers who do not want to use the underlying operating system's facilities\nfor name resolution, and instead want to always perform DNS queries.\nBelow is an example that resolves <code>'archive.org'</code> then reverse resolves the IP\naddresses that are returned.\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const dns = require('dns');\n\ndns.resolve4('archive.org', (err, addresses) => {\n if (err) throw err;\n\n console.log(`addresses: ${JSON.stringify(addresses)}`);\n\n addresses.forEach((a) => {\n dns.reverse(a, (err, hostnames) => {\n if (err) {\n throw err;\n }\n console.log(`reverse for ${a}: ${JSON.stringify(hostnames)}`);\n });\n });\n});\n</code></pre>\nThere are subtle consequences in choosing one over the other, please consult\nthe <a href=\"#dns_implementation_considerations\">Implementation considerations section</a> for more information.",

On most POSIX-like\noperating systems, the behavior of the <a href=\"#dns_dns_lookup_hostname_options_callback\"><code>dns.lookup()</code></a> function can be\nmodified by changing settings in <a href=\"http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/nsswitch.conf.5.html\"><code>nsswitch.conf(5)</code></a> and/or <a href=\"http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/resolv.conf.5.html\"><code>resolv.conf(5)</code></a>,\nbut note that changing these files will change the behavior of all other\nprograms running on the same operating system.\nThough the call to <code>dns.lookup()</code> will be asynchronous from JavaScript's\nperspective, it is implemented as a synchronous call to <a href=\"http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getaddrinfo.3.html\"><code>getaddrinfo(3)</code></a> that runs\non libuv's threadpool. This can have surprising negative performance\nimplications for some applications, see the <a href=\"cli.html#cli_uv_threadpool_size_size\"><code>UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE</code></a>\ndocumentation for more information.\nNote that various networking APIs will call <code>dns.lookup()</code> internally to resolve\nhost names. If that is an issue, consider resolving the hostname to an address\nusing <code>dns.resolve()</code> and using the address instead of a host name. Also, some\nnetworking APIs (such as <a href=\"net.html#net_socket_connect_options_connectlistener\"><code>socket.connect()</code></a> and <a href=\"dgram.html#dgram_dgram_createsocket_options_callback\"><code>dgram.createSocket()</code></a>)\nallow the default resolver, <code>dns.lookup()</code>, to be replaced.",
