dnst has the goal of being an ever-evolving toolbox of commands to aid DNS operators in the maintenance and operation of their zones and nameservers.
As ldns has been in maintenance mode since 2020, dnst aims to offer a collection of programs that serve as modern, drop-in replacements for some of the widely used ldns utilities.
Currently, six utilities have been implemented:
- key2ds
- keygen
- nsec3hash
- signzone
- notify
- update
Each utility is exposed as a compatibility interface, and with brand-new and more ergonomic interfaces.
