MaraDNS snapshot update

I am continuing work on the XeroBank-sponsored patch. Right now, I have written the code that converts a dotted-decimal-ip in to the end of the DNS packet to send back to the user; and the code to see whether we should send this packet to the user instead of a SOA reply. The next step is to write a function to send the user this DNS pack (the IP answer to their question with a 0-TTL).

It can be downloaded by clicking on here and selecting the "20090130" tarball (".tar.bz2" file).

MaraDNS snapshot uploaded

I have uploaded a MaraDNS snapshot with the beginning of my work for XeroBank; I also have added Radio Gatun 32-bit support to the mqhash program.

It can be downloaded by following this link

XeroBank is sponsoring MaraDNS

I have some great news! XeroBank (who offers Internet Privacy, Identity Protection, Privacy Protection, Anonymous Proxy services, Anonymous Surfing, and Anonymous Browsing) has very kindly offered to sponsor MaraDNS. In particular, they will sponsor the implementation of an IP being given instead of a SOA record when someone asks for a host name that doesn't exist.

I will begin work on implementing this today and will release a snapshot (and a second blog entry for today) tonight.

Because of this offer, development on Deadwood is suspended until I get this feature implemented.
