What is the difference between this and libdns/dnsupdate #3

Open conblem opened 7 months ago

Hello everybody I stumbled upon this library and the libdns/dnsupdate library. Both seem to be using RFC 2136 for DNS updates it is unclear to me what the distinction is between these libraries. One thing I found is that only this library has caddy-dns integration, so maybe thats it?

Cheers

Good question, I don't think I realized they were the same. :sweat_smile: From the dnsupdate package:

DNS AXFR is used to list DNS records. DNS UPDATE is used to append, set and delete records.

So maybe that's one difference? I don't know much about these RFCs though so maybe the package author(s) can chime in. /cc @emersion

Oh my. I can't believe I missed this repo... Yes, it does sound that the two repos achieve the exact same thing. (This repo uses AXFR to fetch records as well.)

I'm totally sorry for not noticing it either. I had always heard "rfc 2136" but never really thought of it as "DNS UPDATE" -- but of course it's the same thing :man_facepalming:

Would you be interested in merging/consolidating the two repos? I could add both of you as maintainers to this one, for instance.
