1. caching DNS server Maradns: http://www.maradns.org/ it is under active development and the upstream maintainer supports Cygwin (by request, he don't uses Cygwin himself), this is a very nice & complete DNS server. Posadis: http://posadis.sourceforge.net/ also available as binaries for Windows. pdnsd: http://www.phys.uu.nl/~rombouts/pdnsd.html this is a proxy DNS server with permanent caching. Already ported: BIND. Why don't you use bind? http://anfaenger.de/cygwin/DNS/bind-9.2.2/ There is the Lightweiht Resolver Daemon lwresd included with the bind-9 sources. 2. authoritative-only DNS server Powerdns: Another interesting DNS server, supports SQL backends. NSD: http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/ MyDNS: http://mydns.bboy.net/ 3. resolver libraries: ares: ftp://athena-dist.mit.edu/pub/ATHENA/ares/ c-ares: http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/ adns: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/adns/ lightweight resolver library, Cygwin version: http://anfaenger.de/cygwin/DNS/bind-9.2.2/liblwres/ > (and what should they have in common? well.. djbdns is by DJB, which > is a crypto expert himself... ok, ok, almost nothing in common) Another guy who never heard of Windows?
