DNS Server

Currently building a DNS server to deepen my understanding of protocols and bit manipulation, transitioning from Python prototypes to low-level Go for clarity and control.

The Problem

Understanding how DNS works at a low level is crucial for network programming. This project aims to build a functional DNS server from scratch to gain deeper insights into protocol implementation and bit manipulation.

Solution

This DNS server implementation provides:

  • Recursive and iterative DNS resolution
  • Support for common DNS record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, etc.)
  • Caching mechanism for improved performance
  • Python prototype for initial development and testing
  • Low-level Go implementation for performance and control
  • Modular architecture for extensibility
