README

        

**NOTE**: This project has been replaced by a golang port:

* https://github.com/skx/dns-api-go

DNS-API.org

-----------

This repository contains the code for a simple daemon which provides

an online DNS-lookup service.

The service responds to requests received via HTTP with a JSON-encoded

response.   In the event of error this response will be empty.

Implementation

--------------

This application is written in Perl, and almost all parts of this code are

trivial.

* The HTTP-server uses [Dancer](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Dancer/)

     * The rate-limiting is applied via [Plack::Middleware::Throttle::Lite](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Plack%3A%3AMiddleware%3A%3AThrottle%3A%3ALite)

* The DNS lookups are achieved via [Net::DNS::Resolver](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Net%3A%3ADNS%3A%3AResolver)

Installation

------------

Once this repository is cloned you may launch it via the provided

`run` script, which will cause the deamon to start on port 5001.

To deploy for the real world you'll need to install the dependencies

and place behind a reverse HTTP-proxy:

    # apt-get install twiggy libdancer-perl libnet-cidr-lite-perl libplack-middleware-reverseproxy-perl
