README.markdown

Alternative (more granular) approach to a DNS library.

Less is more.

Complete and usable DNS library. All 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 function for it. Server side and client side programming is supported, i.e. you can build servers and resolvers with it.

Goals

  • KISS;
  • Symmetric API: client and server side should be very similar;
  • Small API, if its easy to code in Go, don't make a function for it.

Features

  • UDP/TCP queries, IPv4 and IPv6;
  • RFC 1035 zone file parsing ($INCLUDE, $ORIGIN, $TTL and $GENERATE [for all record types] are supported);
  • Fast:
    • Reply speed around 35/40K qps (faster hardware results in more qps);
    • Parsing RRs (zone files) with 95/100K RR/s, that's 5M records in about 50 seconds;
  • Client and server side programming (mimicking the net/http package);
  • Asynchronous queries/replies for client and server;
  • DNSSEC: signing, validating and key generation for DSA, RSA and ECDSA;
  • EDNS0, NSID;
  • AXFR/IXFR;
  • TSIG;
  • DNS name compression.

Have fun!

Building

Building is done with the go tool. If you have setup your GOPATH correctly the following should work:

go build dns

Sample programs can be found in the ex directory. They can be build with: make -C ex, or also with the go tool.

Supported RFCs

all of them

  • 103{4,5} - DNS standard
  • 1982 - Serial Arithmetic
  • 1876 - LOC record
  • 1995 - IXFR
  • 1996 - DNS notify
  • 2136 - DNS Update (dynamic updates)
  • 2181 - RRset definition
  • 2537 - RSAMD5 DNS keys
  • 2065 - DNSSEC (updated in later RFCs)
  • 2671 - EDNS record
  • 2782 - SRV record
  • 2845 - TSIG record
  • 2915 - NAPTR record
  • 3110 - RSASHA1 DNS keys
  • 3225 - DO bit (DNSSEC OK)
  • 340{1,2,3} - NAPTR record
  • 3445 - Limiting the scope of (DNS)KEY
  • 3597 - Unkown RRs
  • 403{3,4,5} - DNSSEC + validation functions
  • 4255 - SSHFP record
  • 4408 - SPF record
  • 4509 - SHA256 Hash in DS
  • 4592 - Wildcards in the DNS
  • 4635 - HMAC SHA TSIG
  • 4701 - DHCID
  • 4892 - id.server
  • 5001 - NSID
  • 5155 - NSEC3 record
  • 5205 - HIP record
  • 5702 - SHA2 in the DNS
  • 5936 - AXFR
  • 6605 - ECDSA
  • xxxx - URI record (draft)

Loosely based upon:

  • ldns
