# Simple, scrappy UDP DNS server in Ruby (with protocol annotations)
# By Peter Cooper
#
# MIT license
#
# * Not advised to use in your production environment! ;-)
# * Requires Ruby 1.9
# * Supports A and CNAME records
# * See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt for protocol guidance
# * All records get the same TTL
