Download MaraDNS 1.3.02

MaraDNS was written with the aim of offering a secure and compact dns. For example, it uses its own library to prevent buffer overflows and does not run in a root account but as an unprivileged user. For a comparison with other packages you can click here this page read through a few things, please note that it was written by the developer of MaraDNS, which means that the claims may be somewhat colored. Version 1.3.02 has recently been released in the testing branch with the following list of changes:

Version 1.3.02 (testing):

• The recursive resolver can now use custom root servers for subtrees of the DNS space; for example root_servers[“local”$#093;=”10123″[“local”$#093;=”10123”
• Windows port now compiles with -Os, resulting in a smaller Windows binary (actually, when I built the 1.2.12.04 binary, I set this parameter by hand; now it’s the default Windows build flag)
• Windows port now uses pthreads-w32 2.8 instead of pthreads-w32 2.6
• csv2 parsing code updated to always allow and always ignore commented tildes
• Bugfix: Star records that aren’t in an authoritative zone now work
• MaraDNS now will not waste time trying to find authoritative records if there are no authoritative records to find
• Some minor webpage updates
• Troubleshooting guide added to tutorial

Version 1.3.01 (testing):

• csv2 zone files now can use tildes to separate resource records.
• New mararc variables: upstream_port and bind_port
• zoneserver now kills its child processes when getting a TERM signal.
• zoneserver now tells people the IP of failed zone transfer attempts when verbose_level is 4 or higher.
