lwres - Error codes

[Felix Haase]

Hello folks,

i have a question about the error codes returned by lwres_getaddrsbyname
and lwres_getrdatabyname functions. lwresd is running and working.

These functions return LWRES_R_NOTFOUND
 1) if the DNS server can not be reached by the lwresd daemon
 2) if the DNS server responds but does not have a record for the requested
domain

Is there any way to distinguish these two cases to get a clear error
message from the lwres library?

In general it would be nice to have error messages corresponding to the
RCODE section defined in RFC 1035 p.27 ( No error, Format error, Server
failure, Name error, Not implemented, Refused)

Is that somehow possible to do using the library ?

Thanks and regards,
Felix
