[CTX] [ALL] DNS proxy/server

---

DNS (Domain Name System) proxy/server

A DNS-DeleGate server relays host name data gathered from multiple sources including DNS, NIS and local file. It can provide limited type of resource records only; A, PTR, SOA and simplified MX. SOA record is composed with information of DNSCONF configuration.

Example: {NIS,FILE,DNS}/DNS gateway

# delegated -P53 SERVER=dns \


RESOLV=cache,file,nis DNSCONF=domain:my.domain

MX record for hostname is generated from -MX.hostname if it is given (like the example below), or the A record for hostname is used. Priorities among multiple MX records can not be represented in the current implementation.

Example: hosts table to use hostA as the MX of hostB

10.1.2.3 hostA
10.4.5.6 hostB, -MX.hostA
