NAME
walldns - a reverse DNS wall
DESCRIPTION
walldns is a reverse DNS wall. It accepts iterative DNS queries for
in-addr.arpa domains from hosts around the Internet, and supplies
generic responses that avoid revealing local host information.
For example, walldns provides a PTR record for 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa
showing 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa as the name of IP address 1.2.3.4, and a
matching A record showing 1.2.3.4 as the IP address of 4.3.2.1.in-
addr.arpa.
Configuration
Normally walldns is set up by the walldns-conf(8) program.
walldns runs chrooted in the directory specified by the $ROOT
environment variable, under the uid and gid specified by the $UID and
$GID environment variables.
walldns listens for incoming UDP packets addressed to port 53 of $IP.
It does not listen for TCP queries.
Further details
walldns rejects inverse queries, non-Internet-class queries, truncated
packets, packets that contain anything other than a single question,
queries for domains outside in-addr.arpa, and request types other than
A, PTR, and *.
walldns does not include NS or SOA records with its responses.
walldns uses TTLs slightly over one week.
