RE: libbind 6.0

2013-02-12 Thread Jack Tavares
I haven't seen any answer on list, so I am resending in case 
it got lost in late Friday afternoon mail queue.

Thank you:


I have been using libbind(6.0) to do dynamic updates via
res_mkupdate()

libbind is not currently under development.

Is there are replacement in bind9 that I should move to?

I see the LWRES but that does not appear to have any update support.

Thank you

Libdns can be used to construct UPDATE (or any other concievable)
message.  It can also be use to send the request or you can manage
that seperately.  bin/nsupdate/nsupdate.c uses libdns to do this.

Yes, I know libdns documentation is sorry lacking.

Out of curiosity, is there any reason not to port the code to something 
running in a higher-level language (or wrapper/script nsupdate?)


FWIW we use dns-python for this.
