Hi, This message is slightly offtopic, but this is the best list for reaching all DNS implementors I think. And I need your help!
After ten years of nagging, PowerDNS Authoritative Server implemented 'automatic binding to ALL IPv4 and IPv6 addresses'. We do so using the setsockopt/sendmsg/recvmsg flags that allow for the capturing of the 'real' destination address of a packet received in 0.0.0.0 or ::. In attempting to implement this, we found missing documentation, wrong documentation and odd #defines that are required on some platforms. I've bundled the whole story in a blogpost on http://bert-hubert.blogspot.com/2012/10/on-binding-datagram-udp-sockets-to-any.html My question is: do any of the implementors have anything to add to this page? Especially DNS relevant things. The post is currently short on details for Solaris and Windows. If you have clues, please share!
