Thanks all, for responding.
One followup question. I am currently doing some engineering work for
GreatBigHugeCo, wherein getting things like DNS updates done is very
time and paperwork intensive. Sometimes I think it would be easier
to do tensor analysis with an abacus, but I digress ...
For reasons too long and complex to explain, I may want to do the following
and need some input on how to implement this or whether it's even practical:
- Run an instance of bind in user space so I can control all the
configuration without having root.
- Forward all lookups not in my database to a "real" DNS server
What I am stuck on is this: Is there any simple (i.e., non-root) way
to write a client or otherwise configure userspace to go to the non-standard
port and run my sort of man-in-the-middle server? Or is this just a stupid
idea?
