Answer

Answer is a ResourceRecord subtype representing a single resource record found in the answer section of a DNS reply.

Purpose

• Provide a distinct type for answer-section resource records so callers can distinguish them from NameServer and AdditionalRecord entries returned in the same Response.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Framework.DNS
• Assembly/package: SAIF.BOF.Framework.DNS

Public members

Inherits all public members from ResourceRecord (Domain, Type, Class, Ttl, Record) and adds no members of its own.

Member	Signature	Purpose
Domain	public string Domain { get; }	The domain name this record applies to (from ResourceRecord).
Type	public DnsType Type { get; }	The resource-record type (from ResourceRecord).
Class	public DnsClass Class { get; }	The resource-record class (from ResourceRecord).
Ttl	public int Ttl { get; }	The time-to-live, in seconds (from ResourceRecord).
Record	public RecordBase Record { get; }	The decoded RDATA payload (from ResourceRecord).

Behavioral notes

• The class is marked [Serializable].
• Answer has no public constructor; instances are created internally (internal Answer(Pointer pointer)) while parsing a Response.
• Resolver.MXLookup filters Response.Answers to entries whose Record is an MXRecord; see BR-008.
