udns 0.0.2

Description:

udns 0.0.2

udns is an authoritative, caching DNS server for development and small
deployments written in Python using the circuits Application Framework
and the dnslib DNS library. udns can be run standalone, via Docker
or using the Docker Compose tool. udns is designed to be small,
lightweight, fast and flexible. udns fully supports forwarding, caching
as well as honoring TTL(s). udns will also read your /etc/hosts file
at startup and use this to populate an internal hosts cache so that entries
in your local /etc/hosts file are fully resolvable with tools such as
host, dig and resolver client libraries.

$ git clone https://github.com/prologic/udns
$ cd udns
$ docker-compose up -d # Server
$ docker-compose run --rm udns udnsc # Client

Managing Zones and Records
udns is a full authoritative, caching DNS server and ships with a client to
help manage zones and records. Here are some quick examples:
Create new Zone:
$ udnsc create abc.com.
Create new Zone from a file:
$ udnsc create abc.com. abc.com
or::
$ udnsc create abc.com. - < abc.com
List Zones:
$ udnsc list
Show Zone Records:
$ udnsc show abc.com.
Export a Zone::
$ udnsc export abc.com.

Note
This exports the Zone to stdout which you can pipe into an output
file for storage using your shell.
e.g: udnsc export abc.com. > abc.com

Add Zone Records:
$ udnsc add abc.com. www 127.0.0.1
Delete a Zone Record:
$ udnsc delete abc.com. www
Delete a Zone:
$ udnsc delete abc.com.

Note
You __must__ specify zones as fully qualified domain names with a
trailing period. e.g: abc.com.
