Racket DNS resolver and server

This is a Racket implementation of a DNS server and iterative resolver. It's written to work with Syndicate, but could readily be adapted to work with other I/O substrates. (It originally used Racket's sync and events directly.)

The code is not quite fully separated into a reusable library (or even a configurable service) yet. Changing this is straightforward, but low-priority right now. Patches welcome!

How to compile and run the code

You will need the latest version of Racket. Any version newer than or equal to Racket 6.0 should work. Racket releases can be downloaded here.

Once you have Racket installed,

raco pkg install syndicate bitsyntax

to install Syndicate and bitsyntax, and then

raco make driver.rkt proxy.rkt

to compile the DNS code. Once it has compiled successfully,

DNSPORT=5444 racket driver.rkt

will start a DNS leaf zone server on port 5444 holding records from test-rrs.rkt's test-rrs variable, and

DNSPORT=5444 racket proxy.rkt

will start an iterative DNS resolver service on port 5444 offering regular DNS service to all comers.

You can try out the service with

dig @localhost -p 5444 localhost.example

To enable debug output, set the MATRIX_LOG environment variable to info:

MATRIX_LOG=info DNSPORT=5444 racket driver.rkt
MATRIX_LOG=info DNSPORT=5444 racket proxy.rkt
