I haven't, but IIRC there is/was a talk at YAPC::EU about using 
mod_perl as a DNS server... I think it is by mock, who did the mod_perl 
as a mail server in Belfast last year.

I guess that's not much help, except to know it's possible.

Thanks - unfortunately I'm not at OSCon - I can wait though. :)

I've implemented UDP support in apache2 a while ago, so shouldn't be a big
problem to write something simple under mod_perl using it.

I am at OSCon too and I'd love to hear about what you've got to say about it,
grab me if you see me hovering about somewhere.

In short, the code exists, but I have not yet published it in the wild. As it
would obviously usefull to folks, I'll try and polish it up and get it released
in the near future. Might have to wait until after OSCon is over though.

Yeah, I'm working on this right now, using Gozer's patch.  I'm at OSCON right
now, so if you can find me, we can talk about it.

Sort of. There's code as part of Qpsmtpd that will show you how to do 
Net::DNS with a single socket. And SpamAssassin has integrated similar 
ideas. But I don't have anything generic.

Not to take too much of Will's glory, but yes, serving UDP in mod_perl
is something that we are working on.

BTW Matt: Have you released the super-caching DNS query system that you
were discussing a few months back? The one that works way better than
Net::DNS for doing nasty things like lots of SPF checks?

Ken
