The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Net::DNSServer DSLIP: cnpOa description: Secure and Extensible Name Server userid: BBB (Rob Brown) chapterid: 16 (Server_and_Daemon_Utilities) communities: http://www.isc.org/ml-archives/bind9-users/2000/07/msg00005.html similar: Net::Server Net::DNS DBI IO::Socket IPC::ShareLite IPC::SharedCache rationale: Net::Server - Backend socket work for the daemon. Net::DNS - Packet parsing and unparsing. IO::Socket - Standard UDP / TCP Socket Handling - Proxy DNS Module DBI - DBD::mysql - Example backend database resolver module IPC::ShareLite / IPC::ShardCache - Used to implement the DNS Cache - TTLs (rfc2181) - Shared Memory It goes under Net:: because it is based on things very similar to Net::Server and Net::FTPServer. It's a daemon. It is Object Oriented in that different modules perform different tasks and operations to resolve the DNS query. It is based on the concept that Apache uses for its internal modules as well as easily integrating third party modules. Also, like Apache, it can supports a PreFork server algorithm to speed the response time to the client. enteredby: BBB (Rob Brown) enteredon: Tue May 22 14:13:09 2001 GMT The resulting entry would be: Net:: ::DNSServer cnpOa Secure and Extensible Name Server BBB Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=b7000000_02459e5ff480d1ee&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=b7000000_02459e5ff480d1ee&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
