dnsreverseproxy

A very basic DNS reverse proxy

I started this project because I had a particular itch.
I wanted to create a middle DNS that could rewrite my home domain into Consul DNS queries while also routing the remaining queries to a regular DNS.
Can consul manage a different domain other than .consul? Of course, but I wanted to get rid of the .service part so I have something like gitlab.example.com that goes to the same IP as gitlab.service.consul.
I also played with prepared queries, but the documentation I've found online was not enough for me and I ended up doing this directly so I don't have a very complicated setup.
dnsdist is another candidate, but I preferred to do it in golang to learn the language.
