# go-dns
Shared Go library for authoritative DNS against BIND-compatible nameservers: full zone transfer (AXFR) and RFC 2136 dynamic UPDATE, authenticated with caller-supplied TSIG.
Import: `gitea.neitzel.de/konrad/go-dns` (package `godns`).
```bash
go get gitea.neitzel.de/konrad/go-dns
```
## Scope
**Included**
- **Session (`Client`)** — one nameserver + zone + TSIG key
- **AXFR** — full zone read over TCP
- **RFC 2136 UPDATE** — typed add/delete changes (UDP with TCP fallback)
- **TSIG** — caller-supplied key name, algorithm, and base64 secret
- **Typed RR builders** — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SRV, PTR (ASCII names)
- **Zone / RRSet / Record** — in-memory zone model from AXFR
**Excluded**
- IXFR / incremental transfer
- TSIG key generation or BIND config writing (see docs for operator notes)
- DNSSEC signing / validation as a product feature
- Non-ASCII / IDN domain names (v1)
## Usage
```go
key := godns.TSIG{
Name: "exapp-key.",
Algorithm: "hmac-sha256",
Secret: "base64-secret-from-bind",
}
client, err := godns.NewClient("ns.example:53", "example.com.", key)
// AXFR
tr, err := client.AXFR(ctx)
// UPDATE
rec, err := godns.A("www.example.com.", 300, net.ParseIP("192.0.2.10"))
_, err = client.Update(ctx, godns.Add(rec))
```
Runnable package examples (construction only, no live nameserver): `go test -run Example`.
## Domain language
See [CONTEXT.md](./CONTEXT.md) for Session, Zone / RRSet / Record, UPDATE, AXFR, and TSIG key terminology.
## Testing
Unit tests cover message construction and record builders. Optional BIND integration tests live behind build tags / env (see `bind_integration_test.go`).
