Less is more.
Complete and usable DNS library. All widely used Resource Records are supported, including the DNSSEC types. It follows a lean and mean philosophy. If there is stuff you should know as a DNS programmer there isn't a convenience function for it. Server side and client side programming is supported, i.e. you can build servers and resolvers with it.

- https://github.com/miekg/unbound -- Go wrapper for the Unbound resolver.
- KISS;
- Fast
- Small API, if its easy to code in Go, don't make a function for it.

- more?
- UDP/TCP queries, IPv4 and IPv6;
- RFC 1035 zone file parsing ($INCLUDE, $ORIGIN, $TTL and $GENERATE (for all record types) are supported;
- Fast:
- Reply speed around ~ 80K qps (faster hardware results in more qps);
- Parsing RRs with ~ 100K RR/s, that's 5M records in about 50 seconds;
- Server side programming (mimicking the net/http package);
- Client side programming;
- DNSSEC: signing, validating and key generation for DSA, RSA and ECDSA;
- EDNS0, NSID;
- AXFR/IXFR;
- TSIG;
- DNS name compression.
Have fun!

Building is done with the go tool. If you have setup your GOPATH
correctly, the following should work:
go get github.com/miekg/dns
go build dns
A short "how to use the API" is at the beginning of dns.go (this also will show
when you call go doc github.com/miekg/dns. Sample
programs can be found in the ex directory. They can also be build
with: go build.
