dotbutts

a dns proxy for the .butts dns registry

disclaimer

i have no idea what dns even is

how to run & use .butts

requires node.js

$ npm install -g dotbutts
$ dotbutts

You might have to do this with sudo permissions.

Now you can resolve dns queries against your dns server:

$ dig @localhost jden.butts

For more usefulness, you might want to run this in an init script and set your default dns server to localhost.

how does it work?

It looks for queries that end in .butts and tries to resolve them. It falls back to Google's public 8.8.8.8 dns server.

how to register your own .butts

see https://github.com/jden/registry.butts

please help improve documentation and code because this was just a quick first effort
