s6-dns

+ +

What is it ?

+ +

+ s6-dns is a suite of DNS client programs and libraries for Unix +systems, as an alternative to the BIND, djbdns or other DNS clients. +

+ +

+ s6-dns may include its own series of DNS caches and servers at some +point in the future. +

+ +

Why a separate client library ? Why not just use getaddrinfo() ?
What is wrong with libresolv, BIND's client library ?

+ +

It can also be discussed on the +cr.yp.to dns mailing-list.

+ +

Similar work

+ +

BIND is the most widely +used DNS software suite on the Internet. It's also arguably the most +buggy, +convoluted and impossible to understand.
djbdns is DJB's DNS suite. +It works very well, but is unfortunately unmaintained by the author. s6-dns +follows the +same design principles.
