@ -6,25 +6,32 @@ 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.
Goals:
* KISS;
* Small API;
* If its easy to code in Go, don't make a function of it.
Features:
* UDP/TCP queries, IPv4 and IPv6;
* RFC 1035 zone file parsing.
* Fast, reply speed should be around 30K qps (Faster hardware, even more qps). Parsing RRs (zonefiles)
goes with 25K RR/s. This is expected to be optimized further.
