Miek Gieben 267cfaab11 Make ResponseWriter a io.Writer
The WriteBuf() is renamed Write() and returns and int and
an error. The old Write() call, is now WriteBuf()

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.

If you like this, you may also be interested in:

Goals

  • KISS;
  • 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 ~ 50K qps (faster hardware results in more qps);
    • Parsing RRs with ~ 100K RR/s, that's 5M records in about 50 seconds;
  • Server side programming (mimicking the net/http package);
  • Client side programming with asynchronous calls;
  • 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 get github.com/miekg/dns
go build dns

Sample programs can be found in the ex directory. They can also be build with: go build.
