Hi, I only can recommend CoreDNS for this use-case. Its plugin system is very easy to work with. I had a lot of fun times fiddling with wild ideas. But it’s written in Go, so ymmv. —Endre

Can anyone recommend software for an authoritative DNS server where the open source code is clean and well documented? I have an anycast-related experiment I'd like to put together and I want to be able to quickly shoehorn it into existing code.
I looked at the source for ISC Bind but the code complexity is far beyond anything I'd want to touch for a casual experiment. Please don't use macros (#defines) to construct your C function _definitions_. I realize C allows it but it turns your code into a meta-language that no one else knows.
