Knot DNS is a fast, authoritative only, high performance, feature full and open source name server.

Knot DNS is developed by CZ.NIC Labs, the R&D department of .CZ registry and hence is well suited to run anything from the root zone, the top-level domain, to many smaller standard domain names.

This package delivers various client programs related to DNS that are derived from the Knot DNS source tree.

- kdig - query a DNS server in various ways - knsupdate - perform dynamic updates (See RFC2136) - kxdpgun - send a DNS query stream over UDP to a DNS server - kzonecheck - zone check tool

Those clients were designed to be 1:1 compatible with BIND dnsutils, but they provide some enhancements, which are documented in respective manpages.

WARNING: knslookup is not provided as it is considered obsolete.
