|
|
Dynamic DNS Service discovery (DNS-SD_)
|

Synchronized with database engine, for example *MySQL*.
|
|

|
|
Firewall control
|
|
----------------
|
|
Control firewall (e.g. enable incoming SSH connection) with DNS query signed with private key.

|
So firewall can blocks every service during normal operation.
|
|
|
|
Scriptable DNS-based blacklist (DNS-BL_)
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
Scripted in Python with already provided features, takes advantage of DNS reply, because
|

Dynamic translation service
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
DNS request can be translated to virtualy any answer, that's easy to implement in client side
|
|
because of many DNS libraries available.
|
|
|
|
Examples :
|
|
* **Dictionary** - using *IDN* for non-ascii strings transfer, ``dig TXT slovo.en._dict_.nic.cz`` returns translation of "slovo" to EN.
|
|
* **Translation** - Extends *DNS-SD*, for example DNS to Jabber to find out people logged in.
|
|
* **Exchange rate calculator** - ``dig TXT 1000.99.czk.eur._rates_.nic.cz`` returns the given sum (1000.99 CZK) in EURs.
