The most common types of records stored in the DNS database are for start of authority ( SOA ), IP addresses ( A and AAAA ), SMTP mail exchangers (MX), name servers (NS), pointers for reverse DNS ...
dnsmasq caches DNS records, reducing the load on upstream nameservers and improving performance, and can be configured to automatically pick up the addresses of its upstream servers. dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local cache or forwards them to a real, recursive DNS server.
tinydns — a database-driven DNS server. walldns — a "reverse DNS wall", providing IP address-to-domain name lookup only. rbldns — a server designed for DNS blacklisting service. pickdns — a database-driven server that chooses from matching records depending on the requestor's location. (This feature is now a standard part of tinydns ...
Frequently an LDAP server is used to distribute the same kind of information that Hesiod does. However, because Hesiod can leverage existing DNS servers, deploying it to a network is fairly easy. In a Unix-like system users usually have a line in the /etc/passwd file for each local user like: foo:x:100:10:Foo Bar:/home/foo:/bin/sh
A wildcard DNS record is a record in a DNS zone that will match requests for non-existent domain names. A wildcard DNS record is specified by using a * as the leftmost label (part) of a domain name, e.g. *.example.com.
