# soans (SOA-based NS Lookup)

Find NS records in the DNS Hierarchy by discovering and directly querying SOA
records.

**Note**: This library uses direct UDP/TCP communications to the Authorities so DNS
caching is avoided and results are provided nearly immediately after records
are added.

This library will take a given domain and walk through each of the subdomains
finding `SOA` records ("authorities") then check each authority for the
existence of an `NS` record.

For example, a domain of `foo.bar.baz.scaffold.ly` will do the following:

- Find `SOA` (if any) on:
- `bar.baz.scaffold.ly`
- `baz.scaffold.ly`
- `scaffold.ly`
- `ly` (TLDs fetch `NS` records)
- Then for each valid `SOA`, find the first with `NS` records.
- In the event the `SOA` record reports NS records (e.g. records have been added but the zone doesn't exist yet) return those NS records

## CLI

```sh
$ npx soans scaffold.ly
ns-1014.awsdns-62.net
ns-1219.awsdns-24.org
ns-1914.awsdns-47.co.uk
ns-234.awsdns-29.com
```

## Installation

yarn:

```sh
yarn add soans
```

npm:

```sh
npm install --save soans
```

## Usage

```typescript
import { NsLookup } from 'soans';

(await NsLookup('facebook.com')).addresses;
// ["a.ns.facebook.com","b.ns.facebook.com","d.ns.facebook.com","c.ns.facebook.com"]

(await NsLookup('asdf.facebook.com')).addresses;
// Throws NoNameserversError

(await NsLookup('doesnotexist.doesnotexist')).addresses;
// Throws NoAuthoritiesError

(await NsLookup('facebook.com', { proto: 'tcp', defaultDns: '8.8.8.8' })).addresses;
// ["a.ns.facebook.com","b.ns.facebook.com","d.ns.facebook.com","c.ns.facebook.com"]
```

## Options

### **`proto`**:

Set the default protocol, either `tcp` or `udp`. If `tcp` fails, fall back to `udp`.
