Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Dmitry Bogatov <kact...@debian.org>
* Package name : djbdns Version : 1:1.05-9~exp2 Upstream Author : D. J. Bernstein <d...@cr.yp.to> * Url : http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html * Licenses : public-domain Programming Lang : C Section : net This package was present in Debian, but removed due unresolved security-related issue (see #516394) in 2017. Here I intend to apply apporiate patches and provide following binary packages: axfrdns ======= axfrdns reads a zone-transfer request in DNS-over-TCP format from its standard input, and responds with locally configured information. dnscache ======== When a browser wants to contact www.debian.org, it first asks a DNS cache, such as dnscache, to find the IP address of www.debian.org. . Internet service providers run dnscache to find IP addresses requested by their customers. If you're running a home computer or a workstation, you can run your own dnscache to speed up your web browsing. tinydns ======= tinydns is general-purpose DNS server that accepts iterative DNS queries from hosts around the Internet, and responds with locally configured information. . This program is used by network administrators to publish the IP addresses of their computers; this package is unlikely to be useful for regular workstation. rbldns ====== rbldns is a special-purplose DNS server, that provides information about blacklisted IP addresses. This information is typically used by email software in effort to stop spam. . For more information about this technique, see RFC 6471. walldns ======= walldns accepts iterative DNS queries for in-addr.arpa domains from hosts around the Internet, and supplies generic responses that avoid revealing local host information. I plan to maintain this package myself, keeping debianization in following Git repository: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/djbdns.git -- Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days.
