Bug#402597: ITP: dnsproxy - a proxy for DNS queries



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : dnsproxy
  Version         : 1.15
  Upstream Author :  Armin Wolfermann <dnsproxy@wolfermann.org>
* URL             : http://wolfermann.org/dnsproxy.html
* License         : an OSI approved MIT-style license
  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.
