adns

adns is an authoritative DNS nameserver written in Rust.

Motivation

Back in 2016 I wrote AvunaDNSD which is a C version of adns with a few less features. That project was based on AvunaHTTPD-Java (containing a DNS server) which I wrote in 2015. AvunaDNSD has been the only one of these projects I still used, however it segfaulted about once a year and didn't support RFC2136 for integration with K8S external-dns. This project was born as a result, almost a decade later -- man I feel old now.

Features

  • Support for standard DNS RR types
  • RFC2136 "dyndns" support
  • AXFR zone transfers (outbound)
  • TSIG authentication for RFC2136 and AXFR zone transfers
  • Hot reloadable zones

Potential Future Features

  • DNSSEC support
  • More zone providers (AXFR, sled, etc)
  • Recursive resolver mode
