Completely usable DNS library. Most widely used Resource Records are
|
2012-01-11 21:01:40 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
function for it. For instance I'm pondering if a zone-like structure should be
|
|
|
|
|
implemented in the library.
