I encountered a strange behaviour on the dns.reverse() method. e.g:
If you resolve the domain name www.fagron.com to an IP address:
dns.resolve4('www.fagron.com', function (e, addresses) {
console.log(addresses); // [ '87.233.241.210' ]
});If you now re-use this IPv4 address and do a reverse DNS resolution:
dns.reverse('87.233.241.210', function (e, hostnames) {
console.log(hostnames); // [ '-' ]
});It seems fairly strange that the returned value is a - dash character (45) since you would expect that:
- if an error occurred, the error is returned and the
hostnames argument is undefined
- if no hostname is found at all, the
hostnames argument is an empty array []
