New dns packages
Hi,
I have just started to look into moving from a caching only
server to a secondary DNS server on my machine, and realized, to my
consternation, that we do not have dnswalk or doc available as Debian
packages.
I just downloaded dnswalk 1.6.3 and doc 2.01 -- I could make
them Debian packages if there is interest.

=========================================================================
doc:
This is a the first public release of Doc - Version 2.0.
Doc (domain obscenity control) is a program which diagnoses
misbehaving domains by sending queries off to the appropriate
DNS nameservers, and performing simple analysis on the responses.
IMPORTANT: Doc requires version 2.0 of the DNS query tool `dig`
(domain internet groper).
Doc-V.2.0 is an initial implementation of an automated domain testing
tool. We expect considerable design modification and implementation
changes to be made as experience is gained through use in the
Internet. At some point, we expect the design to stabilize and a
production version, implemented in something other than the current
UNIX-tool patchwork, to be released.
=========================================================================
dnswalk is a DNS debugger. It performs zone transfers of
specified domains, and checks the database in numerous
ways for internal consistency, as well as for correctness
according to accepted practices with the Domain Name Sys
tem.
