This subpackage contains the "DNS client" module. This is a higher level API that provides an interface to name resolution, single DNS transaction with a particular server, and dynamic update. Regarding name resolution, it supports advanced features such as DNSSEC validation and caching. This module supports both synchronous and asynchronous mode.
It also contains the Advanced Database (ADB) and Simple Database (SDB) APIs. ADB allows user-written routines to replace BIND’s internal database function for both nominated and all zones. SDB allows a user-written driver to supply zone data either from alternate data sources (for instance, a relational database) or using specialized algorithms (for instance, for load-balancing).
