EventDns - An EventMachine based DNS server

My goal of this project (to start) is nothing more than to learn how to write a DNS server using ruby.

Currently, I plan on taking full advantage of the ruby language in combination with EventMachine’s sweetness to eventually have a fully RFC 1035 compliant DNS server.

HTTP RR backend

  • enabled by default, test using: ‘dig @127.0.0.1 -p 1053 pi.viadns.org’ and ‘dig @127.0.0.1 -p 1053 gmail.viadns.org’

Goals

Dynamic configuration

  • database
  • web service(s)
  • monitored flat-file(s)

Caching

  • in-memory
  • memcached

API

  • REST? (json/xml)
  • TCP? (json/xml)

Dreams

  • everything written in C

Requirements

  • logging
  • eventmachine
  • dnsruby
  • a sweet bike
