Closes #528
Summary (also included in CHANGELOG):
FullNode
andSPVNode
accept configuration parameter--no-dns
(orno-dns: true
inhsd.conf
) which launches the node without either DNS server (the root authoritativeserver and the recursive resolver). This avoids some port collisions with other HNS resolvers
like hnsd running locally, and generally separates and reduces security concerns around
running unneeded servers when a node is just used for transactions and blocks.
--no-rs
is also accepted to disable the recursive DNS resolver (but keep the root server).The default is
false
(meaning by default, hsd runs with the DNS servers).
