Description
This is a pure OCaml implementation of the DNS protocol. It is intended to be a reasonably high-performance implementation, but clarity is preferred rather than low-level performance hacks.
There are several concrete implementations using this package that you probably want to use for practical purposes:
- dns-lwt for the Lwt concurrency library
- dns-lwt-unix using the Lwt_unix bindings
- dns-async using the Jane Street Async library
- mirage-dns for the MirageOS unikernel framework

OCaml-DNS - DNS client and server implementation in pure OCaml
This is a pure OCaml implementation of the DNS protocol. It is intended to be a reasonably high-performance implementation, but clarity is preferred rather than low-level performance hacks.
To build it, please use the OPAM package manager (1.2+):
opam pin add dns .
This will install the dependencies needed and give you a working development version of the library.
Packages:
lib/contains the core DNS protocol, which is packed into theDnsmodule.lib_test/contains unit tests and sample uses of the library. In particular,time_serveris a simple dynamic responder.
Areas that need work:
We need an Lwt-based client iterative resolver Patches for this are highly welcome!
EDNS0 extensions
DNSSEC extensions (using nocrypto)
TC bit and TCP fallback
mDNS resolver
