MyDNS - SQL-based DNS server
This is the MyDNS package. MyDNS is a simple, non-recursive Internet
name daemon which serves records directly from an SQL database. It
currently works with either MySQL or PostgreSQL.
This version of the MyDNS package is a development of the original one
produced by Don Moore.

dnswall is a daemon that filters out private IP addresses in DNS responses. It
is designed to be used in conjunction with an existing recursive DNS resolver
in order to protect networks against DNS rebinding attacks.
dnsjava is an implementation of DNS in Java. It supports all defined record
types (including the DNSSEC types), and unknown types. It can be used for
queries, zone transfers, and dynamic updates. It includes a cache which can be
used by clients, and a minimal implementation of a server. It supports TSIG
authenticated messages, partial DNSSEC verification, and EDNS0.
dnsjava provides functionality above and beyond that of the InetAddress class.
Since it is written in pure Java, dnsjava is fully threadable, and in many
cases is faster than using InetAddress.
dnsjava provides both high and low level access to DNS. The high level
functions perform queries for records of a given name, type, and class, and
return an array of records. There is also a clone of InetAddress, which is even
simpler. A cache is used to reduce the number of DNS queries sent. The low
level functions allow direct manipulation of DNS messages and records, as well
as allowing additional resolver properties to be set.
dnsdbck verifies consistency of DNS information in an SQL database.
It is part of dnstools, a set of utilities for DNS management and related
tasks.
vhostcname synchronizes DNS with server names and aliases from Apache
virtual host configuration.

DNS SRV record command line wrapper
-----------------------------------
wrapsrv adds support for connecting to a network service based on DNS SRV
record lookups to commands that do not support the DNS SRV record. wrapsrv
implements the weighted priority client connection algorithm in RFC 2782.
The specified command line will be invoked one or more times with %h and %p
sequences in the command line substituted for the hostname and port elements
of the selected SRV record.
DNSsec Zone Key Tool
ZKT is a tool to manage keys and signatures for DNSSEC-zones.
The Zone Key Tool consists of two commands:
o dnssec-zkt to create and list dnssec zone keys and
o dnssec-signer to sign a zone and manage the lifetime of the zone signing keys
The dnsutl package is a collection tools to make administering DNS easier.
These include programs for:
* Generating the reverse DNS mapping by using the DNS forward mapping.
This is useful for producing a self-consistent DNS configuration.
* Generating the /etc/ethers file by using a bogus record type.
* Generating the /etc/hosts file by using the DNS forward mapping.
* Generating the /etc/bootptab file by using the MAC and IP information.
* Generating the /etc/netgroup file by using the DNS forward mapping.
* Generating the Sun /etc/bootparams file by using the MAC and IP information.
* Checking the new-style /etc/named.conf files for self-consistency.
* Checking the old-style /etc/named.boot files for self-consistency.
* Generating the DNS forward mapping by using the /etc/hosts file.
This could be a first step to configuring your DNS server.
* Generating the /etc/dhcp.conf file by using the MAC and IP information.
All of these programs are both faster than shell scripts, and more
robust when faced with all the peculiar semantics of DNS resource files.
They even understand the $include directive.
Tool suite for analysis and visualization of Domain Name System
(DNS) behavior, including its security extensions (DNSSEC). The
Web-based analysis is run from the same software.
Sleuth is a tool designed to check DNS zones for common errors
and also for processing of secondary name service requests.
