A simple dns server to read records from etcd. See this blog post for more information.
go get github.com/mrwilson/helixdns
go build -o hdns github.com/mrwilson/helixdns
- port - port to run on (defaults to 9000)
- etcd-address - location of etcd instance to connect to (defaults to http://localhost:4001/)
- forward - optional address of forwarding nameserver (including port - e.g. 8.8.8.8:53)
Records are stored in etcd under /helix/. To add an A record from example.com to 123.123.123.123
etcdctl set /helix/com/example/A "123.123.123.123"
Standard supported records are A, AAAA, CNAME, and PTR.
SRV records have multiple pieces of information to serve, so the values stored in etcd under /helix/com/example/_<protocol>/_<service>/SRV should be in the form of a list of JSON objects, as below.
