I am adding a feature to my current project that will allow network admins to install the software to the network. I need to code a DNS server in Python that will allow me to redirect to a certain page if the request address is in my list. I was able to write the server, just not sure how to redirect.
Thank you. I am using Python 2.6 on Windows XP.
There’s little, simple example here that can easily be adapted to make all kinds of “mini fake dns servers”. Note that absolutely no “redirect” is involved (that’s not how DNS works): rather, the request is for a domain name, and the result of that request is an IP address. If what you want to do is drastically different from translating names to addresses, then maybe what you need is not actually a DNS server…?
