TODO items. o use real entropy to make random (ID, port) numbers more random. o in production mode, do not free memory on exit. In debug mode, test leaks. o profile memory allocation, and if performance issues, use special memory allocator. For example, with caches per thread. o #define BIT_... different on bigendian and smallendian systems so that the htons on flags is not needed to send a message from the cache. o speed up pkt domain name decompression loop detection using counter perhaps. o detect OS/400 pthreads implementation that allows upgrading to writelock on pthreads rwlocks and use it to examine-rd before storing-wr rrset cache. o understand synthesized DNAMEs, so those TTL=0 packets are cached properly. o understand NSEC/NSEC3, aggressive negative caching, so that updates to NSEC/NSEC3 will result in proper negative responses. o fallback without EDNS if result is NOTIMPL, now only on FORMERR like in java. o scrubber has slow pkt_subdomain and pkt_strict_subdomain functions. o get serverselection algorithm out of local optimum. make subtargets to get rtt info for a couple of targets, like fetch-policy. or send out multiple queries to multiple servers. o donotqueryaddresses allow specification of subnets, use trie to store. extend default list to contain illegal ip4 and ip6 addresses. o memory profile; and if needed put serviced queries under qstate->region and special purpose region code, reuse blocks, shrink if too big. o check query, option to enforce presence of qdsection in noerror answers. o configuration option where port 53 is used for send and receive, no other ports are used. o (option) to not send replies to clients after a timeout of (say 5 secs) has passed, but keep task active for later retries by client. o private TTL feature o pretend-dnssec-unaware, and pretend-edns-unaware modes for debug/workshops. o delegpt use rbtree for ns-list, to avoid slowdown for very large NS sets. o be able to have different listen and query-to addresses to bind to, so you can listen to localhost and query-to to the internet. o reprime and refresh oft used data before timeout. o retain prime results in a overlaid roothints file. o store primed key data in a overlaid keyhints file (sort of like drafttimers). o windows version, auto update feature, a query to check for the version. o autoreport of problems o logrotation, syslog o command the server with TSIG inband. get-config, clearcache, get stats, get memstats, get ..., reload, clear one zone from cache o watch for spoof nearmisses. o improve compression of DNS packets by first puttig uncompressible rrs, then compress to their rdata. o if one server is not responsive do not spend 75 secs on that server, but try other servers with lower rtt. o NSID rfc 5001 support. o timers rfc 5011 support. o Treat YXDOMAIN from a DNAME properly, in iterator (not throwaway), validator. o grab ports nonconsequtive and change the set after a while (change within a given range). Could be bad for OS if wrong port. unsure if it helps secure. o make timeout backoffs randomized (a couple percent random) to spread traffic. o inspect date on executable, then warn user in log if its more than 1 year. o proactively prime root, stubs and trust anchors, feature. early failure, faster on first query, but more traffic. o use privilege separation, to change privilege options during reload securely not needed. o check if for PowerDNS(2.9.21) CNAME in Answer section & rcode=NXDOMAIN needs to be fixed up to be rcode=NOERROR? o On Windows use CryptGenRandom() to get random seed for arc4random.
