  • iodine

    • A regular proxy on port 53 might work? Is it necessary to actually use DNS?

    Otherwise there's https://github.com/yarrick/iodine

  • dyna53

    Route53 as a database, with DynamoDB-compatible API

    • Actually I turned DNS into a database ;)

  • dns.toys

    A DNS server that offers useful utilities and services over the DNS protocol. Weather, world time, unit conversion etc.

    • It's always amusing to see DNS "hackery"[1] like this, and always makes me go back to DNS Toys (https://www.dns.toys/), which generated a huge discussion on HN a year ago [2]
