fast rule-based dns proxy
it inspects the dns request and depending on what domain name is being queried, forwards the request to an upstream server of your choice
with it, you can:
-
send queries of local domains, such as **.lan, **.local to your router as home
-
query some domains that you don't want others to know using only safe upstream servers
-
take advantage of opennic to resolve alternative root systems, such as .bit
-
use the dns of your isp for other domains for speed
Configuration
it is really simple and examples are in the folder config
basically, resolve.config is in Toml and defines what upstream dns servers to use for each region.
regions are defined in folders called region.name, for example, you can create a region for your home in a folder region.home.
Files in the folders contain domains written in reverse notation, for example, com.example.www, uk.co.google.www
domains are matched to regions in a longest prefix way, for example com.example matches com.example.www, com.example.support. But if you want com.example.static to use a different server, just configure it, and because it's longer, it overrides the configuration for com.example.
Commandline arguments
there is one, -c or --config for setting the folder container configuration files. By default it's config in the current folder.
