NAME

dnsproxy - DNS proxy

SYNOPSIS

dnsproxy [-dhV ] [-c file ]

DESCRIPTION

The dnsproxy daemon waits for nameserver queries on a user specified address, dispatches these queries to authoritative and recursive nameservers and forwards the received answers back to the original client.

The options are as follows:

-c file
Read configuration from file.
-d
Detach from current terminal and run as background process.
-h
Show usage.
-V
Show version.

If a client from an internal IP address does a recursive lookup the query is forwarded to a recursive DNS server. Authoritative queries and queries coming from clients in foreign networks are forwarded to an authoritative DNS server.

CONFIGURATION FILE

At startup dnsproxy reads a configuration file specified via the -c option or at the default location of /etc/dnsproxy.conf.

The following keywords are recognized:

authoritative IP
Address of the authoritative nameserver [required].
recursive IP
Address of the recursive nameserver [required].
listen IP
Local address (defaults to 0.0.0.0).
port number
Local port number (defaults to 53).
chroot path
A path to chroot to before starting to answer queries.
user name
A user to change to before starting to answer queries.
authoritative-timeout seconds
Time in seconds when authoritative queries time out (defaults to 10).
recursive-timeout seconds
Time in seconds when recursive queries time out (defaults to 90).
authoritative-port number
Port number on authoritative nameserver (defaults to 53).
recursive-port number
Port number on recursive nameserver (defaults to 53).
statistics seconds
Period between output of statistics (defaults to 3600). Use 0 to disable output of statistics completely.
internal Fa network
Declare networks recognized as internal and thus eligible to do recursive queries. One network in CIDR notation per keyword.

EXAMPLE

 authoritative 10.1.1.1
 recursive 127.0.0.1
 recursive-port 10053
 listen 192.168.1.1
 port 53
 chroot /var/empty
 user nobody
 internal 192.168.1.0/24
 internal 127.0.0.1

STATISTICS

Every hour (by default) dnsproxy logs the collected statistics about its usage to standard error (or syslog when running detached). Statistics look like 
 ActiveQr AuthorQr RecursQr AllQuery Answered
 0        0        0        0        0
 TimeoutQ DroppedQ DroppedA LateAnsw HashColl
 0        0        0        0        0

and have the following meaning:

ActiveQr Number of currently active queries proxied to the servers.
AuthorQr Accumulated number of authoritative queries.
RecursQr Accumulated number of recursive queries.
AllQuery
Accumulated number of all queries ever received.
Answered
Accumulated number of answered queries.
TimeoutQ
Accumulated number of queries that did not receive an answer in time.
DroppedQ
Accumulated number of dropped queries (e.g. transmission errors).
DroppedA
Accumulated number of dropped answers.
LateAnsw
Accumulated number of answers received after the timeout period.
HashColl
Accumulated number of hash collisions in the query list.
