# Alternative (more granular) approach to a DNS library.
2010-12-29 01:44:19 +11:00
2011-01-16 09:05:56 +11:00
Completely usable DNS library. Most widely used Resource Records are
2011-02-10 19:01:43 +11:00
supported. DNSSEC types too.
2011-01-16 09:05:56 +11:00
EDNS0 is (see edns.go), UDP/TCP queries, TSIG, AXFR (and IXFR probably)
2011-01-27 19:29:11 +11:00
too. Both client and server side programming is supported.
2010-12-29 01:44:19 +11:00
Sample programs can be found in the `_examples` directory. They can
be build with: `make examples` (after the dns package has been installed)
2011-01-02 08:07:47 +11:00
The major omission at the moment is parsing Resource Records from
2011-01-27 19:29:11 +11:00
strings. (i.e. supporting the RFC 1035 zone file format).
2011-02-10 19:01:43 +11:00
Also the IPv6 support needs to be tested
Everything else should be present and working. If not, drop me an email.

Have fun!
