DJBDNS is a collection of Domain Name System tools. It includes several components:    * The dnscache program is a local DNS cache. It accepts recursive DNS      queries from local clients such as web browsers. It collects responses from remote DNS servers.    * The tinydns program is a fast, UDP-only DNS server. It makes local      DNS information available to the Internet.    * The pickdns program is a load-balancing DNS server. It points      clients to a dynamic selection of IP addresses.    * The walldns program is a reverse DNS wall. It provides matching      reverse and forward records while hiding local host information.    * The dns library handles outgoing and incoming DNS packets. It can be      used by clients such as web browsers to look up host addresses, host      names, MX records, etc. It supports asynchronous resolution.    * The dnsfilter program is a parallel IP-address-to-host-name      converter.    * The dnsip, dnsipq, dnsname, dnstxt, and dnsmx programs are simple      command-line interfaces to DNS.    * The dnsq and dnstrace programs are DNS debugging tools.
