Domain Name Server (DNS) support fro embedded systems from Fusion DNS by Unicoi Systems- Embedded Software Development Tools

Fusion Domain Name System (DNS) software is a resolver comprised of a library of easy-to-use routines that a client application can call to perform the domain name to IP address translation function. With only a few simple programmatic calls, it is easy to integrate a product that uses Fusion DNS functions to define a list of domain name servers, build a query to interrogate the servers, issue server requests and process the responses. This enables a device or the device operator to have desktop-like network capability in an embedded product.

In addition to find-host-by-name functions, Fusion DNS includes a number of useful utility routines that facilitate the integration of DNS server responses with the client application. These routines make product development much easier by providing out-of-the-box services such as converting between network format addresses and base 256 d.d.d.d representation, ASCII hexadecimal to binary conversion, domain name compression and expansion, and query construction. To facilitate your product development, Fusion DNS includes debug and test routines to verify the proper operation of your client application.
