A Rust based DNS client and server

Goals

Build a safe and secure DNS server and client with modern features.
Use Threads to allow all code to panic! and fail fast, without taking down the server.
Protect against DDOS attacks (to a degree)
Support options for Global Load Balancer functions
Build in a nice REST interface for managing server?

Status:

Under active development! Do not attempt to use in any production systems.

In progress:

Support original (minus unused) RFC 1035 specification. All parsers complete. Todo: Serializers. Todo: Operations.
EDNS http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2671
Support DNS Update RFC 2136.
DNSSEC Resource Records RFC 4034
DNSSec protocol RFC 4035
Dynamic DNS Update Leases https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sekar-dns-ul-01
DNS Long-Lived Queries http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sekar-dns-llq-01

FAQ

Why are you building another DNS server?

Because I've gotten tired of seeing the security advisories out there for BIND. Using Rust semantics it should be possible to develop a high performance and safe DNS Server that is more resilient to attacks.
