lita-lookup-host

A handler for lita that gives folks in chat an easy way to perform both forward and reverse lookups for hosts via DNS.

This module was inspired by the lita-dig handler, but aims to serve an audience that might not want to learn dig.

Add lita-lookup-host to your Lita instance's Gemfile:

gem "lita-lookup-host"

[You] lita: lookup host www.google.com
[Lita] 216.58.216.68

[You] lita: lookup host 127.0.0.1
[Lita] localhost

This handler uses Ruby's resolv class included in stdlib to perform lookups. It uses whatever resolvers have been configured on the system running Lita to answer queries.
