set_target with hostname fails about kong

[ADD-SP]

I created an internal ticket (KAG-3500) to track this issue.

hi, it's a conflict between the doc and its internal impelmentation, currently dns balancer will not actively resolve your setting host. using (KAG-3500) to track it.

Currently your resolved method, using dns_client to resolve it, is ok.

@chobits , do we have any update about this issue?

hi

This error log was reported by Kong.balancer() , it seems balancer module does not do dns lookup for it, I still need some time to check

---

BTW for your code,

local ok, err1 = kong.service.set_target("example.com", 443)
if not ok then
kong.log.err(err1)
return
end

you dont need to check return value like ok, err1 of kong.service.set_target, this function has no return value, it always successes.
