Let skydns reply to NS queries #75

Closed miekg closed 10 years ago

Make NS send replies for NS queries. This would allow clients to discover all the nameservers in the SkyDNS cluster even if they only know of a subset of nameserver ip.

The change is trivial, but I'm stuck on the names, we call the master nameserver, master.skydns.local, what would be a good name for the other nameservers? master1, master2? slave1, slave2, or something better.

"master and member" are better than "master and slave".

Ok.

OTOH, we do provide functionality by responding to A queries for master.skydns.local... Also note that we hijack these names and that they cannot be used for hosts registering SRV records. This is btw already a problem (I think).
