TODO

Must of the stuff is working, but there is a list of smaller things that need to be fixed.

Todo

• encoding NSEC3/NSEC bitmaps, DEcoding works;
• add functions to operate on []byte messages (raw packets) see rawmsg.go
• HIP RR (needs list of domain names, need slice for that);
• IsSubdomain, IsGlue helper functions;
• axfr/ixfr dynamic updates
• Cleanup?;
• Multiline RRs when parsing;
• Need to define a handy zone data structure (r/b tree)?.
  • Should do glue detection
  • return rrsets
  • DNSSEC ready
• String compression inside the library, so the string miek.nl is stored once and all RRs reference it. Would be a major memory saver;
• Check base64/base32/hex validity when parsing RRs;
• Include os.Error in ParseError too? (more info).
• zone.Nxt needs to be differently sorted than the default
• Split up the package? An idea might be: dns/zone -- contains all zone parsing dns/server -- server side stuff dns/client -- client side stuff

Issues

• Check the network order, it works now, but this is on Intel?
• Compression. Take stuff from Jan Mercl;

Examples to create

• Nameserver, with a small zone, 1 KSK and online signing;
• Recursor - ala FunkenSturm?
