Do you need an easy way for different processes within a system to communicate with each other? Look no further than DNS Service Discovery! By using DNS names, processes can quickly reach each other to perform tasks. For example, when a web process receives a new job, it can notify the back-office service via its DNS name and pass the job to the work process using its DNS name.
Private Spaces dynos have the advantage of being able to exchange TCP and UDP traffic on a private network. This means any process type can listen to any available port, and other dynos in the space can connect to that port on the dyno host.
The best part? Clients using DNS-SD don’t need to be reconfigured to use a different recursive resolver, and no changes are needed to the recursive resolver that clients are currently using. Clients only need to know which domain to look in for services, which is usually already set up in the DHCP server’s response packet. DNS SD clients also use this to determine their default DNS search domain, meaning the required configuration is generally already in place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS Service Discovery?
DNS Service Discovery or DNS-SD is an efficient way for processes in a system to communicate with each other by using DNS names.
What are the advantages of Private Spaces dynos?
Private Spaces dynos can freely exchange TCP and UDP traffic on a private network. This allows any process type to listen to any available port, and other dynos in the space can connect to that port on the dyno host.
Do clients need to be reconfigured to use DNS-SD?
No, clients do not need to be reconfigured to use DNS-SD. The necessary domain is usually already set up in the DHCP server’s response packet. DNS SD clients also use this to determine their default DNS search domain, making the required configuration generally already in place.
