Could NLnetLab's libldns & drill totally replace all this?

(Both are already ported & built.)

"A lot of DNS debugging is done with dig, but as dig is made with the
same libraries as BIND8/9 (the most used DNS server out there), what
are you actually debugging/testing? Drill has nothing in common with
either NSD nor BIND. During the development process we are actually
uncovering obscure bugs in NSD and BIND (and in drill itself)."
