Capable how? Does it support IPv6 queries? IPv6 records? SRV records?
How about a syntax for defining a TXT record that doesn't involve octal?
- contras1970 10y agoCapable more than enough in all the ways that mattered to me, my employers and their customers throughout this millenium. IPv6 records require a patch. Any records defined for IPv4 are supported out-of-the-box (your last question gives away you know this and the encoding used in the tinydns database). What was your point?
- jldugger 10y agoMy point is that it's feature set is not from this millennium.
- JdeBP 10y agoIt was rather spoiled by the fact that your knowledge of djbdns is not from this millennium. Felix von Leitner's work dates from back at the turn of the century, and it went into things like the NetBSD packaged djbdns very quickly.
- JdeBP 10y agoIPv6 records and SRV records were supported from the start, Bernstein himself explaining that the generic binary record format covered that. The syntax wasn't pretty, but the support was there. Extensions to the database source form that are prettier have been around for many years. I have a DNS database with this record in it, for example: +jdebp.info:2001_41d0_2_aa92_0_ff_fe23_8e7a An SRV record would be S_sip._udp.jdebp.info::sip.jdebp.info:5060:10:20 Queries over an IPv6 transport have been supported since at least the year 2000, that work having been done by Felix von Leitner. Peter Conrad built DNSSEC support on top of M. von Leitner's work.
