Class DnsDiscovery

All Implemented Interfaces:
PeerDiscovery

public class DnsDiscovery extends MultiplexingDiscovery

Supports peer discovery through DNS.

Failure to resolve individual host names will not cause an Exception to be thrown. However, if all hosts passed fail to resolve a PeerDiscoveryException will be thrown during getPeers().

DNS seeds do not attempt to enumerate every peer on the network. MultiplexingDiscovery.getPeers(long, Duration) will return up to 30 random peers from the set of those returned within the timeout period. If you want more peers to connect to, you need to discover them via other means (like addr broadcasts).
