Complete and usable DNS library. Most widely used Resource Records are
|
|
|
|
|
supported, including the DNSSEC types. It follows a lean and mean philosophy.

|
|
If there is stuff you should know as a DNS programmer there isn't a convenience
|
2012-01-28 00:14:55 +00:00
|
|
|
function for it.

Goals:
|
|
|
|
|
* KISS;
|
|
|
|
|
* Small API;
|
|
|
|
|
* If its easy to code in Go, don't make a function of it.

|
|
|
|
2011-09-12 08:13:50 +00:00
|
|
|
* UDP/TCP queries, IPv4 and IPv6;
|
2012-01-26 22:00:37 +00:00
|
|
|
* RFC 1035 zone file parsing;
|
|
|
|
|
* Fast:
|
2012-01-28 00:14:07 +00:00
|
|
|
* reply speed around 35K qps (Faster hardware -> more qps);
|
|
|
|
|
* Parsing RRs (zone files) with 30K RR/s, that 5M records
|
|
|
|
|
in about 170 seconds;
|
2012-01-26 22:00:37 +00:00
|
|
|
* This is expected to be optimized further.
|
2012-01-14 10:08:42 +00:00
|
|
|
* Client and server side programming (mimicking the http package);
|
|
|
|
|
* Asynchronous queries for client and server;
|
|
|
|
|
* DNSSEC;
|
2011-09-12 08:13:50 +00:00

Sample programs can be found in the `examples` directory. They can
|
2011-02-10 11:26:26 +00:00
|
|
|
be build with: `make examples` (after the dns package has been installed)
