Description-en: Debian fork of djbdns, a collection of Domain Name System tools
dbndns is a fork of the djbdns package, including patches requested by
Debian developers and Debian users, e.g. a patch to provide IPv6
functionality.
.
The djbdns package provides software for all the fundamental DNS
operations:
.
DNS cache: finding addresses of Internet hosts. When a browser wants to
contact www.hotwired.com, it first asks a DNS cache, such as djbdns's
dnscache, to find the IP address of www.hotwired.com. 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.
.
DNS server: publishing addresses of Internet hosts. The IP address of
www.hotwired.com is published by HotWired's DNS servers. djbdns includes
a general-purpose DNS server, tinydns; network administrators run tinydns
to publish the IP addresses of their computers. djbdns also includes
special-purpose servers for publishing DNS walls and RBLs.
.
DNS client: talking to a DNS cache. djbdns includes a DNS client C
library and several command-line DNS client utilities. Programmers use
these tools to send requests to DNS caches.
.
djbdns also includes several DNS debugging tools, notably dnstrace, which
administrators use to diagnose misconfigured remote servers.
