Open DNS dnsdb is not passive #59

Closed jedisct1 closed 9 years ago

jedisct1 commented 9 years ago

Open DNS doesn't have a passive DNS system yet.

Unlike passive DNS systems, the database is just an indexed copy of the resolvers logs.

Passive DNS systems are designed to easily and verify traffic from different sources and work in a very different way.

:metal: again, thanks for the clarification (and for doing them in the form of PRs). Really appreciated. I'm going to keep expanding this module to include more of the OpenDNS api, so I don't promise I won't make some more of these mistakes.

Really appreciate the contributions.
