Looks like node-red-contrib-dns has been orphaned, and once you move to node14, install fails?

Looks like node-red-contrib-dns has been orphaned, and once you move to node 14, install fails? Violates version range, per the package details. I can of course change the package details to force the issue and test. But thought maybe someone know of node that did the same function or replaces it? Apparently has not been updated for 4 years?

Well you could use the node.js DNS module direct in a function node. You need to turn on node-red's feature that lets you load node.js modules in the function node (off by default I think).

Or you could use the exec node to run a DNS query in a command line.

Cool. Thanks for the suggestions.
