Description-en: DNS protocol library for Go
Complete and usable DNS library. All widely used Resource Records
are supported, including the DNSSEC types. It follows a lean and
mean philosophy. If there is stuff you should know as a DNS
programmer there isn't a convenience function for it. Server side
and client side programming is supported, i.e. you can build
servers and resolvers with it.
