Nslint is a lint program for DNS zone files. It is produced by the
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Network Research Group.
Please send bugs and comments to nslint@ee.lbl.gov.
Fastresolve is a package of programs to process web log files to get DNS
and domain ownership information for log analysis. It sends out many
queries in parallel, and caches results, for speed. Its DNS resolver is
about 10 times as fast as logresolve.pl from the Apache 1.3.9 distribution,
and about 50 times as fast as logresolve.c from that distribution. It is
5-20 times as fast as the adnslogres program that comes with the adns
library, and about 3 times as fast as jdresolve, which is a Perl program
that uses similar algorithms.
This is a nsswitch plugin from Apple's mDNSResponder code, adapted
for FreeBSD's nsswitch and libc.
OpenDD is a DynDNS client, written in C, and especially designed
for small gateway machines, like a Soekris box. Its main feature
is that it does not require any Perl or Python interpreter.
It supports HTTPS, can send a mail report, and can run as daemon.
It is also very easy to deploy.
Ldns is a library to simplify implementation of recent DNS RFCs. The goal
is to allow depelopers to easily create software conforming to current RFCs
and experimental software for current Internet drafts.
Because ldns is written in C it should be a lot faster than Perl or other
scripting languages.
AnyEvent::CacheDNS provides a very simple DNS resolver that caches its results
and can improve the connection times to remote hosts.
This module will parse a Zone File and put all the Resource Records (RRs) into
an anonymous hash structure. At the moment, the following types of RRs are
supported: SOA, NS, MX, A, CNAME, TXT, PTR. It could be useful for maintaining
DNS zones, or for transferring DNS zones to other servers. If you want to
generate an XML-friendly version of your zone files, it is easy to use
XML::Simple with this module once you have parsed the zonefile.
DNS::ZoneParse scans the DNS zonefile - removes comments and separates the file
into it's constituent records. It then parses each record and stores the
records internally. See below for information on the accessor methods.
This is Net::Bonjour, a set of perl modules to utilize DNS for service
discovery. This method of service discovery is branded as Bonjour by
Apple Computer.
Net::DNS is a collection of Perl modules to interface with the Domain Name
System (DNS) resolver. It allows the programmer to perform queries that are
beyond the capabilities of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
There are also methods for dealing with creating and parsing dynamic updates
packets.
DRI stands for Domain Registration Interface and aims to be,
for domain name registries/registrars/resellers
what Perl DBI is for databases.
Net::DRI offers a uniform API to access services.
It can be used by registrars to access registries.
It can be used by clients to access registrars and/or resellers.
It can be used by anonyone to do whois, DAS or IRIS DCHK queries.
