We are pleased to announce the release of the first beta version of dnsdist, 1.0.0-beta1. We intend to release the final 1.0.0 version on April 21st, just in time for the UKNOF34 meeting.

In addition to several bug-fixes and improvements, a lot of new exciting features have been added since alpha2:

  • A per-pool packet cache
  • Some actions do not stop the processing anymore when they match,
    allowing more complex setups: Delay, Disable Validation, Log, MacAddr,
    No Recurse and of course None
  • The new RE2Rule() is available, using the RE2 regular expression
    library to match queries, in addition to the existing POSIX-based
    RegexRule()
  • SpoofAction() now supports multiple A and AAAA records
  • Remote logging of questions and answers via Protocol Buffer

See the dnsdist website for the more complete changelog and the current documentation.

Release tarballs are available on the downloads website.

Several packages are also available on our repository
