DNSServer
#########
Also known as a DNS Resolver, the ``DNSServer`` provides a DNS Server simulation by extending the base Service class.
Key capabilities
================
- Simulates DNS requests and DNSPacket transfer across a network
- Registers domain names and the IP Address linked to the domain name
- Returns the IP address for a given domain name within a DNS Packet that a DNS Client can read
- Leverages the Service base class for install/uninstall, status tracking, etc.
Usage
=====
- Install on a Node via the ``SoftwareManager`` to start the database service.
- Service runs on TCP port 53 by default.
Implementation
==============
- DNS request and responses use a ``DNSPacket`` object
- Extends Service class for integration with ``SoftwareManager``.
Examples
========
Python

Configuration
=============
``domain_mapping``
""""""""""""""""""
Domain mapping takes the domain and IP Addresses as a key-value pairs i.e.
If the domain is "example.com" and the IP Address attributed to the domain is 192.168.0.10, then the value should be ``example.com: 192.168.0.10``
The key must be a string and the IP Address must be a valid octet i.e. in the range of ``0.0.0.0`` and ``255.255.255.255``.
