1. ### Description The `named` module uses the `Net::DNS` Perl module to see if the host being checked is responding to name service requests. The module will perform recursive (non-authoritative) lookups. ### Examples To retrieve the A record for `www.site.org`:
            module named {
              name www.site.org
            }
2. To retrieve the MX record for `www.site.org` via a server running on port 530:
            module named {
              name www.site.org
              type MX
              port 53
            }
