I have both Erlang books and can't figure out how to do this logic.

here is how I would do it in pseudo-code in languages that I am familar
with.

for (dns_rr in dns_rec.getAnList())
{
  if (dns_rr.domain == "_test._tcp.local")
     {
       // do some logic here
     }
}


receiver(Subs) ->
    receive
        {udp, _Socket, IP, InPortNo, Packet} ->
            {ok,DnsRec} = inet_dns:decode(Packet),
            % this is where I want the "domain" detecting logic from the
dns_rr records
             io:format("~n~nFrom: ~p~nPort: ~p~nData:
~p~n",[IP,InPortNo,DnsRec]),
             receiver(Subs);
           stop ->
               true;
         AnythingElse ->
               %io:format("RECEIVED: ~p~n",[AnythingElse]),
               receiver(Subs)
       end.
