NAME

       gnunet-dns2gns - run a DNS-to-GNS proxy

SYNOPSIS

       gnunet-dns2gns [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Most  users  will not want to run an DNS to GADS proxy/gateway and thus will not need this
       program.

       gnunet-dns2gns runs a DNS resolver which delegates requests to  the  ".gads"  and  ".zkey"
       zones  to  GADS.   All  other requests are forwarded to DNS.  This DNS proxy is useful for
       enabling non-personalized GADS-resolution to an entire network or to offer GADS-resolution
       to DNS users.

       A DNS-to-GNS proxy using gnunet-dns2gns is available at ".zkey.eu"

       If  you  do  not  want  to  specify  a  public  key  and  are  the  owner of the zone that
       gnunet-dns2gns will use for GNS lookups, you need  to  first  create  a  pseudonym  (using
       "gnunet-identity  -C NAME"), and then assign it to be used for the "dns2gns" service using
       "gnunet-identity -e NAME -s dns2gns".  After that,  you  can  start  the  dns2gns  service
       (possibly using gnunet-arm) without specifying a public key using "-z".

OPTIONS

       -c FILENAME,  --config=FILENAME
              Use the configuration file FILENAME.

       -d IP,  --dns=IP
              IP address of a recursive DNS resolver that should be used for non-GADS hostnames.

       -f NAME,  --fcfs=NAME
              Authoritative  FCFS  suffix  to use.  This is the name under which the local zone's
              names will be made available.  Default is "fcfs.zkey.eu".

       -h, --help
              Print short help on options.

       -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL
              Use LOGLEVEL for logging.  Valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR.

       -s SUFFIX,  --suffix=SUFFIX
              Authoritative DNS suffix to use.  This is the name under  which  the  GADS  ".zkey"
              zone is mapped into the DNS namespace.  Default is "zkey.eu".

       -v, --version
              Print GNUnet version number.

       -z PUBLICKEY, --zone=PUBLICKEY
              Use  PUBLICKEY for the zone to resolve GNS names in.  The PUBLICKEY must be encoded
              in the text format which can be obtained using gnunet-ecc, seen in PKEY records and
              output  by  gnunet-identity.   If  this  option  is  not specified, the default ego
              associated by gnunet-identity for the "dns2gns" subsystem will be used.
