Complete and usable DNS library. All widely used Resource Records are
|
2012-01-27 18:51:24 +11:00
|
|
|
supported, including the DNSSEC types. It follows a lean and mean philosophy.
|
2012-01-12 08:01:40 +11:00
|
|
|
If there is stuff you should know as a DNS programmer there isn't a convenience
|
2012-05-03 16:59:02 +10:00
|
|
|
function for it. Server side and client side programming is supported, i.e. you
|
|
|
|
can build servers and resolvers with it.

# Goals

|
|
|
|
2012-01-27 09:00:37 +11:00
|
|
|
* KISS;
|
2012-02-15 20:24:58 +11:00
|
|
|
* Symmetric API: client and server side should be very similar;
|
2012-02-19 23:38:31 +11:00
|
|
|
* Small API, if its easy to code in Go, don't make a function for it.

# Features

|
|
|
|
2011-09-12 18:13:50 +10:00
|
|
|
* UDP/TCP queries, IPv4 and IPv6;
|
2012-05-20 23:28:27 +10:00
|
|
|
* RFC 1035 zone file parsing ($INCLUDE, $ORIGIN, $TTL and $GENERATE are
|
|
|
|
supported);
|
2012-01-27 09:00:37 +11:00
|
|
|
* Fast:
|
2012-05-03 16:59:02 +10:00
|
|
|
* Reply speed around 35/40K qps (faster hardware results in more qps);
|
2012-02-28 07:12:04 +11:00
|
|
|
* Parsing RRs (zone files) with 95/100K RR/s, that's 5M records in about 50 seconds;
|
2012-01-27 09:00:37 +11:00
|
|
|
* This is expected to be optimized further.
|
2012-02-14 08:02:36 +11:00
|
|
|
* Client and server side programming (mimicking the net/http package);
|
2012-02-15 20:24:58 +11:00
|
|
|
* Asynchronous queries/replies for client and server;
|
2012-05-03 16:59:02 +10:00
|
|
|
* DNSSEC: signing, validating and key generation for DSA, RSA and ECDSA;
|
2012-02-14 08:02:36 +11:00
|
|
|
* EDNS0, NSID;

2012-01-27 09:00:37 +11:00
|
|
|
* DNS name compression.

# Building

Building is done with the `go` tool. If you have setup your GOPATH
|
|
|
|
correctly the following should work:
|
2011-01-02 08:07:47 +11:00
|
|
|
|
2012-02-05 21:04:21 +11:00
|
|
|
go build dns
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sample programs can be found in the `ex` directory. They can
|
2012-02-19 08:18:16 +11:00
|
|
|
be build with: `make -C ex`, or also with the `go` tool.
