[dns-operations] Fwd: TXDNS 2.0.0 Beta

[David Ulevitch]

I can't decide if I'm afraid or impressed.  Both, I suppose.

This seems like it works similar to Dan Kaminsky's Paketto Keiretsu's  
"scanrand" scanner which separates the sender and the receiver...

> Let's take a look on an example. To put a TXDNS host on listening

> > txdns -l
> By default TXDNS listens on port 5353. On the client side you may  
> post any query jobs to the host by just appending -c xx.xx.xx.xx to  
> the regular query syntax (where xx.xx.xx.xx is the host's IP  
> running TXDNS on listening mode), for example:
> > txdns foo.com -rt -t -c xx.xx.xx.xx
> Using -cr instead of -c will force the TXDNS server to redirect all  
> output to the client, so basically you get the results from the  
> server's job right on the client console. Note that file system  
> streams are not redirected, which means that any file switches (-f  
> or -h) will still have the remote host as root reference.

> -u, --proto-udp Force UDP. Defaults to TCP.
> -k  --key <string> Shared-key to authenticate and encrypt the channel.
>     --clear Disable encryption (client takes precedence ).

> A new --countdown option has been added as a very basic
