Backlog¶
DNSao is still in the early stages of development, but to record the next ideas and planned steps for the tool, here’s what’s on the list:
These are long term goals. At the moment, the focus is in the upstream forwarder features.
Remove Javalin¶
UDP and TCP servers are created and managed directly within DNSao, but the web server was built using Javalin. There were several reasons for this choice, mainly to avoid spending time implementing an HTTP server in the early stages of the project.
Although Javalin is an excellent project and fits well with lightweight runtime goals, it makes more sense to have an internal HTTP server dedicated to serving metrics.
Recursive Resolution¶
Similar to Unbound, this feature would make DNSao a DNS resolver, not just a forwarder. With this capability, DNS queries wouldn’t be forwarded to an “upstream” — they would be resolved directly by DNSao through root servers.
Move Away from MkDocs¶
The worst tool for building a static site.
