nrf9160 getaddrinfo details

[plotkin1996]

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding getaddrinfo from nrf_modem_lib (NCS v. 1.8.0).

• Does it cache DNS records, or does it run a network request every time it is called?
• Does it sort results (i. e. is it compatible with round-robin DNS balancing)?

Thank you!

Hello,

I'm not sure about the implementation, so I will ask the SDK team about it.

Yes, it caches DNS queries.

Does it sort results (i. e. is it compatible with round-robin DNS balancing)?

No, it does not sort results - in fact only one result is returned.
