I am new to twisted. This works perfectly for something that I am working on -- but I need to derive the source IP on the DNS requester. There seems to be no obvious way to do this using twisted.names.client.Resolver. Can someone comment on how I might be able to achieve this?

will this work with wildcard entries? e.g *.myapp.dev
