[ANN] DNS bridge using PowerDNS

Post by crosser »

As of this writing, it is a proof of concent / work in progress / exercise in Haskell. Don't expect it be be usable in production out of the box.

That said, I am using it as my .bit zone resolver and it works. With the limitations mentioned on the page.

Please comment/pm/email, or open a github ticket if you need.

Thanks.

  1. Fast enough for a single user making occasional requests.
  2. PowerDNS has caching bilt in.
I cannot really tell more than that. But I'd not expect performance problems before you try to run a big public resolver.

I've had this idea for a while making PowerDNS backend as it's awesome DNS server, only haven't had time to work on it.

Sadly I don't like Haskell at all... I would actually make it in D language.

Status update: DNS bridge using PowerDNS

There is some progress with my project. It supports most features (including import and delegate) and seems to work ok for me.

So I've made a binary executable for x86_64 Linux, in case someone wants to try it. URL in the top post.
