[SR-Users] does ipops module dns_int_match_ip(hostname, ipaddr) search all returned records?

[canuck15]

I am reading the documentation for the ipops module dns_int_match_ip() 
function and it states the following:

"Returns TRUE if ipaddr is associated by DNS to hostname. FALSE 
otherwise. It uses internal DNS resolver. At this moment, the function 
might not check all the IP addresses as returned by dns_sys_match_ip(), 
because the internal resolver targets to discover the first address to 
be used for relaying SIP traffic. Thus is better to use 
dns_sys_match_ip() if the host you want to check has many IP addresses, 
in different address famililies (IPv4/6)."

I am not sure what that statement means.  I will be using this for IP 
authentication where the records it is checking against are in a mysql 
database and may or may not be be using the DNS name instead of the IP.  
Many of those DNS names could return several IP addresses and the 
incoming call could be on any one of those IP addresses.  So when I do a 
check of a hostname against an IP address I want all returned A or srv 
IP's to be checked against the IP.  Not just the first IP returned when 
checked.  I do not believe dns_sys_match() will be fast enough on a busy 
server so I would prefer to using dns_int_match_ip().

If anyone can clarify what that statement means regarding "internal 
resolver targets to discover the first address" and whether that would 
affect my use it would be greatly appreciated.

On a related note, is there any way to check the contents of the dns 
resolver cache?  I looked through kamctl and kamcmd but didn't find 
anything.  I tried "kamctl address show" but that didn't return anything.
