several components:

|
|
|

|
|
* The dnscache program is a local DNS cache. It accepts recursive DNS
|
|
|

|
queries from local clients such as web browsers. It collects
|
|
|
|
|
responses from remote DNS servers.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
DNS information available to the Internet.
|

|
|
|
|
|
clients to a dynamic selection of IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
|
* The walldns program is a reverse DNS wall. It provides matching
|
|
|
|
|
reverse and forward records while hiding local host information.
|
|
|
|
|
* The dns library handles outgoing and incoming DNS packets. It can be
|
|
|
|
|
used by clients such as web browsers to look up host addresses, host
|
|
|
|
|
names, MX records, etc. It supports asynchronous resolution.
|
|
|
|
|
* The dnsfilter program is a parallel IP-address-to-host-name
|
|
|
|
|
converter.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

command-line interfaces to DNS.
