MaraDNS is a package that implements the Domain Name Service (DNS), an
|
|
essential internet service. MaraDNS has the following advantages:
|
|
|
|
o Secure. MaraDNS has a security history as good as or better than any other DNS
|
|
server. For example, MaraDNS has always randomized, using a secure random
|
|
number generator, the Query ID and source port of DNS queries; and was never
|
|
vulnerable to the "new" cache poisoning attack.
|
|
o Supported. MaraDNS has a long history of being maintained and updated.
|
|
Actively developed since 2001, MaraDNS continues to be fully supported: The
|
|
most recent release was done on August 4, 2009. Deadwood, the code that will
|
|
become part of MaraDNS 2.0, is frequently updated.
|
|
o Easy to use. A basic recursive configuration needs only a single three-line
|
|
configuration file. A basic authoritative configuration needs only a four-line
|
|
configuration file and a one-line zone file. MaraDNS is fully documented, with
|
|
both easy-to-follow tutorials and a complete and up-to-date reference manual.
|
|
o Small. MaraDNS is well suited for embedded applications and other environments
|
|
where the server must use the absolute minimum number of resources possible.
|
|
MaraDNS' binary is smaller than that of any other currently maintained
|
|
recursive DNS server.
|
|
o Open Source. MaraDNS is fully open-source, The license is a two-clause BSD
|
|
license that is almost identical to the FreeBSD license.
