NameCoin ReRoute (Java DNS server)

[Orwell]

I've been working on a small proof of concept code, that is basically a local namecoin DNS server. What it dose is relay all your DNS queries to your regular DNS server and for the .bit queries it makes a "fake" answer. It gets this "fake" answer from namecoind trough json interface.
This gives you a no setup, easy to use way of browsing .bit domains, witch works on all your applications and browsers.

As i sad it's a proof of concept and very buggy but it works (more or less)

Is there any interest in this little project?? I don't have much time for it which makes development go slow so a little help would be nice.

sounds interesting. Would it also be possible to query a namecoin dns server for .bit domains? I think not everybody wants to run a namecoin client.

That is a good idea And yes it's possible. The buggy'nes in the software is all related to querying
namecoind, so this would make it more usable as well. If i get time I'll implement it as an option..

It's an interesting solution indeed (a bit like this one : https://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=345. I may continue this work one day, depending on priorities :p).

All solution that is easy to use for end users is welcome .
