dnsi vs. idns

paulehoffman opened this issue · comments

The documentation talks about idns and dnsi. Pick one. :-)

Also, the man page talks about "dnsi-lookup" and "dnsi-query", which don't seem to exist yet.

Thanks for giving dnsi a spin and providing us with feedback Paul! The project is now five days old so things are a bit in flux, but we definitely decided on dnsi.

The lookup command was built and merged yesterday, so it isn't part of the 0.1.0 release yet. Please try installing from the main branch like so:

cargo install --force --git https://github.com/NLnetLabs/dnsi --branch main

Then try:

dnsi lookup nlnetlabs.nl icann.org blablablablabla.bla 185.199.110.153 192.168.5.5 

For the bigger picture on dnsi and domain, please read this blog post.

FWIW, I prefer "dnsi" instead of "idns", so I'm happy here. :-)
