HostDB is a system for generating internal DNS zones, external DNS zones,
and DHCP configuration data from the same hostlist.txt file.
Keep your configurations consistent by generating them all from the same
source.
A system for generating internal DNS zones, external DNS zones, and
DHCP configuration data from the same simple repository.

The adns module provides an interface to
the GNU adns asynchronous DNS resolver library.
Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It
is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can
serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP
server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated
addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in
a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases
and BOOTP/TFTP/PXE for network booting of diskless machines.
Dnsmasq is targeted at home networks using NAT and connected to the internet
via a modem, cable-modem or ADSL connection but would be a good choice for any
smallish network (up to 1000 clients is known to work) where low resource use
and ease of configuration are important. -- Simon Kelley
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.
nss_mdns is a plugin for libc which provides host name resolution via
Multicast DNS, building on Avahi.
Only name resolution is provided; nss_mdns does not advertise services.
Scavenge is a utility to analyze DNS records within an IP address range.
It scans the range and classifies its findings into 4 categories:
- Missing A records
- Missing PTR records
- Mismatched A/PTR records
- Stale PTR records
zonenotify is useful to send a NS_NOTIFY packet to BIND slave server. When you
update a zone in your djbdns DNS you must notify the slaves about your change.
Stanford::DNSserver
===================
Stanford::DNSserver is a DNS name server framework. It allows you to make
any information accessible with perl available via DNS. To put it another
way, it's a name server with a perl back end.
Credns is a software program aimed at fortifying DNSSEC by performing
validation in the DNS notify/transfer-chain.
PowerDNS is an advanced DNS server, which allows for several different
backends. Current backends include MySQL, PostgreSQL, bind, etc.
