dns-notify

Small utility to easily send DNS NOTIFY requests.

Install

First you have to install and setup Go.

Then run

go get github.com/abh/dns-notify

That should put the binary into $GOPATH/bin/dns-notify

API

If started with the -listen parameter the program runs an HTTP server with an API for sending notifies.

The path for the POST requests is/api/v1/notify/example.com. The server will use the servers specified on startup, but the domain is taken from the API request.

curl -XPOST -s http://localhost:8765/api/v1/example.com

The response is JSON and includes the result of each NOTIFY sent.

Usage

Send a notify mode

Specify the domain to notify with the -domain parameter and then the servers to notify.

dns-notify -domain=example.com 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 192.168.0.1:5053 [2001:1::2]:53

Daemon mode

To start dns-notify in daemon mode, specify the -listen parameter instead of -domain.

dns-notify -listen=10.0.0.1:8050 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1

Optional parameters

• -verbose

A bit more verbose output.

• -quiet

Only output on errors.

• -timeout

How long to wait for responses, defaults to 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds).

Error handling

Errors are reported, but requests are not retried.
