This is a really cool project! I'd love to mentor/help anyone interested in
reviving it.
> GSoC 2010: ZooKeeper DNS Server
> -------------------------------

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-703

> ZooKeeper DNS Server
> Possible Mentor
> Henry Robinson (henry at apache dot org)
> Requirements
> Java or Python or C
> Description
> Although ZooKeeper is primarily used for co-ordination of distributed
> processes, its consistency semantics means that it's a good candidate for
> serving small (key,value) records as well. The Domain Name Service has
> similar requirements, raising the interesting question of whether ZooKeeper
> would be a capable DNS server for your local network. One intriguing
> possibility is having versioned DNS records, such that known-good
> configurations can be stored and rolled back to in the case of an issue. If
> this versioning primitive proves to be useful, it's easy to imagine other
> types of configuration that could be stored.
> This project would involve designing and building an RFC-1035 compliant DNS
> server and performing a detailed performance study against an already
> existant simple DNS server like tinydns.
