Because I felt bad for all the DNS people having to miss out on the joy of working with rsync, I started on a DNS resolver over rsync. It should be mostly functional already.

Feel free to try it out. The records appear as files, and the time is set to when the TTL will expire.

A terminal window showing "DNS over Rsync" in ASCII art as a response to the query "rsync rsync://thuis.koenvanhove.nl/AAAA/nlnetlabs.nl/". The output lists a file called "2a01:4f8:c0c:cdfa::1"
