What I mean by non-recursive in this case is that the program does not perform recursion by itself as it relies on a list of DNS resolvers. When querying these resolvers, the recursion bit is actually set. However, I agree that the title might be misleading but I am not sure how I could express that better.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoYeah, most titles I just brainstormed still suck in some way. Yours is technically true but only locally. Perhaps add something like you just said to the opening paragraph. That reduces confusion on what non-recursive means along with saving reader any wasted time if they were seeking something else.
- blechschmidt 10y agoWell, in order to make it correct, I have implemented a --norecurse option.
