pepbut is Wobscale's authoritative DNS server and record update API / console, written in Rust.

It is in development and should not be used in production.

Some of the implementation is inspired by TRust-DNS.

pepbut requires Rust 1.27 or later to build.

Goals:

• Fast (de)serialization of zone files (no parsers!)
• CNAME flattening (defining CNAMEs at the root of zones, but resolving and returning A/AAAA records)
• Wildcard record support
• An API for updating records
• A web interface that uses the API to update records

Non-goals:

• Recursive resolving (notwithstanding CNAME flattening)
• DNSSEC
• Use as a secondary DNS server
• Zone transfers (AXFR)
