The caching DNS-server

The program binds a given host and 53 port, so user should have administrator privillages. The program also nesessary takes a forwarder address and port because it's cache is empty in the moment after launch.

Server receives clients requests and looks for requested names in it's cache. If there is a record in the cache and this record is actual (a records TTL is not exceeded), server sends a response to client. In the opposit case server sends this request to it's forwarder and takes the forwarder information to answer to the client and to write it to cache.

Server keeps records in it's cache by domain names. It also keeps a response package, a time of this record making and it's TTL for each of record. Server changes information about deprecated records.

By default cache record TTL is set to 15 minutes. It can be changed in configurations of the file cache_record.py

Server can be stoped any time during it works by typing a special command: "close". Closing command can be changed in configurations of a main file.

For a help message showing use --help or -h argument.
