Custom DNS servers with "dns"

[fsvehla]

It would be lovely to be able to specify a custom DNS server.
ares supports such an option (ares_set_servers)

Sounds like a good feature. Patches welcome (with CLA) I probably won't get around to it soon.

There is native-dns which I made, its goal is a drop in replacement for the builtin module. There are two ways of handling custom servers one is to use the Request method it exports to send a specific query to a specific server, alternatively there is a mechanism to customize the servers for basic resolve and lookup queries.

Closing this one, @tjfontaine's native-dns offers the requested feature.

For posterity, not only will native-dns work, but in 0.11 we have dns.setServers
