Description : a proxy for DNS queries
dnsproxy forwards DNS queries to two previously configured
nameservers: one for authoritative queries and another for
recursive queries. The received answers are sent back
to the client unchanged. No local caching is done.
.
Primary motivation for this project was the need to replace Bind
servers with djbdns in an ISP environment. These servers get
recursive queries from customers and authoritative queries from
outside at the same IP address. Now it is possible to run dnscache
and tinydns on the same machine with queries dispatched by dnsproxy.
.
Another possible scenario is a firewall where proxy queries
should be forwarded to the real server in a DMZ.
