# Alternative (more granular) approach to a DNS library.
|
|
|
|
> Less is more.
|
|
|
|
Complete and usable DNS library. Most 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.
|
|
|
|
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;
|
|
* Fast:
|
|
* reply speed around 35K qps (Faster hardware -> more qps);
|
|
* Parsing RRs (zone files) with 35K RR/s, that 5M records in about 142 seconds;
|
|
* This is expected to be optimized further.
|
|
* Client and server side programming (mimicking the net/http package);
|
|
* Asynchronous queries/replies for client and server;
|
|
* DNSSEC;
|
|
* EDNS0, NSID;
|
|
* AXFR/IXFR;
|
|
* TSIG;
|
|
* DNS name compression.
|
|
|
|
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` (after the dns package has been installed)
|
|
|
|
Have fun!
