rbldnsd is a small and fast DNS daemon which is especially made to serve DNSBL
|
||
|
|
zones. This daemon was inspired by Dan J. Bernstein's rbldns program found in
|
||
|
|
the djbdns package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rbldnsd is extremely fast - it outperforms both bind and djbdns greatly. It
|
||
|
|
has very small memory footprint.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The daemon can serve both IP-based (ordb.org, dsbl.org etc) and name-based
|
||
|
|
(rfc-ignorant.org) blocklists. Unlike DJB's rbldns, it has ability to specify
|
||
|
|
individual values for every entry, can serve as many zones on a single IP
|
||
|
|
address as you wish, and, finally, it is a real nameserver: it can reply to DNS
|
||
|
|
metadata requests. The daemon keeps all zones in memory for faster operations,
|
||
|
|
but its memory usage is very efficient, especially for repeated TXT values
|
||
|
|
which are stored only once.
