A blazing-fast & secure Rust based DNS server ⚡️

Overview:

This repository houses a pure-Rust implementation of a high-performance, flexible DNS server, built with efficiency and maintainability in mind. Leveraging Rust's powerful features, dns-server offers:

• Native performance: Rust's compiled nature ensures lightning-fast execution, making it ideal for demanding DNS workloads. ️
• Security: Rust's memory safety and built-in security features minimize vulnerabilities and enhance trust. ️
• Flexibility: The codebase is designed for customization and extension, allowing you to tailor it to your specific needs.
• Cross-platform: Runs seamlessly on various operating systems, providing wide deployment options.

Getting Started:

1. Requirements:

   • Rust toolchain (https://rustup.rs/)
   • Cargo package manager (comes with Rust)

2. Clone the repository:

3. Build and run:

   cargo run --release

   This will start the server on the default port (53).

Live Deployment:

You can query this dns server live on following IP: 152.70.61.218 deployed over port: 8153, query for dns name

   % dig github.com @152.70.61.218 -p 8153

Configuration:

The server supports configuration via a YAML file named config.yml in the project's root directory. Options include:

• Port: Specify the DNS listening port (default: 53)
• Logging: Configure logging level and output
• Zone files: Define DNS zones and records
• Forwarders: Set up DNS forwarding for zones not served locally

Features:

• Efficient DNS resolution leveraging Rust's concurrency and low-level control.
• Customizable DNS zone management for flexible configuration. ️
• Support for various record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, etc.) to meet diverse DNS needs.
• Clean and well-documented codebase for easy understanding and contribution.

Contributing:

We welcome contributions to make dns-server even better.
