Our current dns is now in {ftp|http}://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/update/ndb.
The file
ndb.tar.xor
is a tar of the directory /sys/src/cmd/ndb xor'd with
the file /68020/9gnot from the sold CD. The files
v.xor
8.xor
k.xor
2.xor
are programs that will xor 2 files. To recover the
original tar file on a 386:
8.xor ndb.tar.xor /68020/9gnot
Its hokey but it should work as long as none of the
people that bought the CD don't post the /68020/9gnot
file.
This dns makes a much better server than the old one did. It
caches all the local info in the program's address space when
running as a server. Oodles of bugs are gone. The dnstcp program
answers zone transfer requests. This program is currently
what is serving the bell-las.com domain.
Included is also a dnsdebug program that helps debug dns problems.
The interface is the same as dnsquery except that lines starting
with @ redirect the query to that server, e.g.
@achille.cs.bell-labs.com boofhead.com mx
will ask achille.cs.bell-labs.com for an mx record for boofhead.com.
Complaints to me.
