Ldns is a library to simplify implementaition of recent DNS
RFCs. The goal is to allow depelopers to easily create
software conforming to current RFCs and experimental software
for current Internet drafts. Because ldns is written in C
it should be a lot faster than Perl or other scripting
languages.

dnscheck is a simple to use DNS zone sanity checker, comparing name server
records and serial numbers with both the parent zone and the zone itself.
It allows you to find lame, leaked or stale name servers which have the
potential to cause disruption.

This is queryperf, a DNS server query performance testing tool.
It is primarily intended for measuring the performance of
authoritative DNS servers, but it has also been used for measuring
caching server performance.
See /usr/local/share/docs/queryperf//queryperf.txt for more
information on the command line option and the required
configuration files. ND-of-queryperf/pkg-descr

types (including the DNSSEC types), and unknown types. It can be used for
queries, zone transfers, and dynamic updates. It includes a cache which can be
used by clients, and a minimal implementation of a server. It supports TSIG
authenticated messages, partial DNSSEC verification, and EDNS0.
dnsjava provides functionality above and beyond that of the InetAddress class.
Since it is written in pure Java, dnsjava is fully threadable, and in many
cases is faster than using InetAddress.
dnsjava provides both high and low level access to DNS. The high level
functions perform queries for records of a given name, type, and class, and
return an array of records. There is also a clone of InetAddress, which is even
simpler. A cache is used to reduce the number of DNS queries sent. The low
level functions allow direct manipulation of DNS messages and records, as well
as allowing additional resolver properties to be set.

dnshijacker is a libnet/libpcap based packet sniffer & spoofer. a
versatile tool, dnshijacker supports tcpdump style filters that allow
you to specifically target victims. dns answers are forged based on
entries in a "fabrication table" or by simply forging one answer to all
requests. a print only mode is also supported, allowing one to simply
monitor dns traffic. dns hijacker is an excellent tool for network level
ad blocking / removal.

The dnsproxy daemon is a proxy for DNS queries. It forwards these
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.

Skadns is a kind of an Asynchronous DNS client software:
- Kind of: it's small. Really small. But it just works.
- Asynchronous: all DNS operations are non-blocking.
- DNS client software: it's a DNS client, what you may know
as a "stub resolver". To perform full DNS resolution,
you will still need a full resolver like dnscache.
The skadns library offers a simple API to make asynchronous DNS queries.
The skadnsip, skadnsmx and skadnsfilter commands are examples
of how to use that API. They are mainly there for their source code.
The skadnsd daemon, usable as a child process or as a separate service,
handles the grunt work of DNS querying and makes the network
completely invisible to the client.

dynamic DNS Update Client supporting multiple
services.
Updatedd is a client to update dynamic dns settings.
With the use of the pppd ip-up script it can update
these settings automatically for you.
Updatedd does not run as a daemon.
It is divided into one main program and one plugin for each
supported service. The plugins are dynamic libraries which
are loaded by the main program. So it is possible to remove
support for services you don't need.
Supported Services:
ods.org, dyndns.org, ovh.net, no-ip.org, hn.org
