This package was present in Debian, but removed due unresolved
security-related issue (see #516394) in 2017. Here I intend to apply
apporiate patches and provide following binary packages:
axfrdns
=======
axfrdns reads a zone-transfer request in DNS-over-TCP format from its
standard input, and responds with locally configured information.
dnscache
========
When a browser wants to contact www.debian.org, it first asks a DNS
cache, such as dnscache, to find the IP address of www.debian.org.
.
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.
tinydns
=======
tinydns is general-purpose DNS server that accepts iterative DNS
queries from hosts around the Internet, and responds with locally
configured information.
.
This program is used by network administrators to publish the IP
addresses of their computers; this package is unlikely to be useful
for regular workstation.
rbldns
======
rbldns is a special-purplose DNS server, that provides information
about blacklisted IP addresses. This information is typically used by
email software in effort to stop spam.
.
For more information about this technique, see RFC 6471.
walldns
=======
walldns accepts iterative DNS queries for in-addr.arpa domains from
hosts around the Internet, and supplies generic responses that avoid
revealing local host information.
I plan to maintain this package myself, keeping debianization in following
Git repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/djbdns.git

Note, that I send and fetch email in batch, once in a few days.
