Description:
djbdns is a collection of Domain Name System tools. It includes several
components:

    - The dnscache program is a local DNS cache. It accepts recursive
      DNS queries from local clients such as web browsers. It collects
      responses from remote DNS servers.

    - The tinydns program is a fast, UDP-only DNS server. It makes
      local DNS information available to the Internet. It supports load
      balancing and client differentiation.

    - The walldns program is a reverse DNS wall. It provides matching
      reverse and forward records while hiding local host information.

    - The rbldns program is an IP-address-listing DNS server. It uses
      DNS to publish a list of IP addresses, such as RBL or DUL.

    - The dns library handles outgoing and incoming DNS packets. It can
      be used by clients such as web browsers to look up host addresses,
      host names, MX records, etc. It supports asynchronous resolution.

    - The dnsfilter program is a parallel IP-address-to-host-name
      converter.

    - The dnsip, dnsipq, dnsname, dnstxt, and dnsmx programs are simple
      command-line interfaces to DNS.

    - The dnsq and dnstrace programs are DNS debugging tools.
