Short description

IfUrlUp is an amazing tool to enable GSLB and redundance / resiliance. For now it permits to test IP address against URL. I would like to know whether it is possible to test "other" dynamic domain name (RFC2136).

Usecase

I've got two hostings, one with public fixed IP, the other one with public dynamic IP. I'm trying to enable GSLB with this two sites using ifurlup.

Description

For now I use ifurlup like that
"ifurlup('https://example.net:444/health',{{'A.B.C.D'},{'E.F.G.H'}})"
I would like to accept this forms
"ifurlup('https://example.net:444/health',{{'A.B.C.D'},{'dynamichost.example.net'}})"

what return value are you expecting if the dynamichost is chosen?

[tfagart]

Oups sorry, I expect the IP address of the dynamic host to be answered

[Habbie]

Then how about (untested!):

ifurlup('https://example.com:444/health', {{'A.B.C.D'}, {resolve('dynamichost.example.net', pdns.A)[1]:toString()}})
