Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2004-04-16 Severity: wishlist * Package name : rbldnsd Version : 0.992 Upstream Author : Michael Tokarev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/rbldnsd.html * License : GPL v2 Description : small DNS daemon for DNSBLs
rbldnsd is a very small and fast DNS daemon which is especially made to serve DNSBL zones. This daemon was inspired by Dan J. Bernstein's rbldns program found in djbdns package. rbldnsd is extremly fast - it outperforms both bind and djbdns greatly. It has very small memory footprint. The daemon can serve both IP-based (ordb.org, dsbl.org etc) and name-based (rfc-ignorant.org) blocklists. Unlike DJB's rbldns, it has ability to specify individual values for every entry, can serve as many zones on a single IP address as you wish, and, finally, it is a real nameserver: it can reply to DNS metadata requests. The daemon keeps all zones in memory for faster operations, but it's memory usage is very efficient, especially for repeated TXT values which keept only once.
