I'm trying to write a Perl DNS server that answers queries (A, NS, TXT, CNAME, LOC, MX, etc-- pretty much anything in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types) based on the time of day, current weather in Paris, number of users on my server, the IP address of the requestor, a hash of the requested record, or pretty much anything I want.
In other words, I want to pay someone to create a framework that populates variables and calls a subroutine when sending an answer to the querying side. I'll worry about getting the weather in Paris, computing the hash, etc. If anyone's interested, please contact me off-list with a quote. My failed attempt (for reference only) is attached. This was called from xinetd as follows: service local1 { disable = no socket_type = dgram wait = yes server = /path/to/my/script.pl only_from = 127.0.0.1 } where I added this to /etc/services: local1 1024/tcp local1 1024/udp -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile.
