# control-panel-dns
A Control Panel to monitor DNS settings
Goals:
* Correctly care and handle IPv6 (IPv4 is dead)
* Update your hostname DNS when your IP address changes
* Run as a daemon
* When run in GUI, add status via systray
v0.0.2 next step: acutally try to nsupdate upto the point where DNS update is next. start displaying real AAAA & naming buttons add RFC 2136 defining nsupdate. Vixie et al in 1997 Personal thansk to Paul for meeting with me some years back ready to pull DNS records starting a checkDNS() function dampen output. actually track IPs poll every 2 seconds (netlink is not the right thing here) ready to start looking for changes screw everything about logging. I hate log.whatthefuck*(){} Do you know what I don't care about? log() You shouldn't care either. Ignore it until you need it that is what logging is for. building something that works. So, here you go. a damn log() function in one place Also, because I'm annoyed today sleep() and exit() Because, when I want you to sleep or exit, I don't want to go to the top of a file and declare stupid shit related to nanoseconds or add "import os.Exit" or whatever the hell stop wasting my time. life is short. if he sit tunnelbroker down add IsRealIP() and IsIPv6() need a netlink function to trigger on changes (nope) put the gui plugin's in the debian package for now set the window title build a .deb package Signed-off-by: Jeff Carr <jcarr@wit.com>

# Rational
With the advent of IPv6, it is finally possible again to have real hostnames for
your machines, desktops, laptops, vm's, etc. This control panel will poll for
changes, find out what the DNS entries are, then, if they are not correct, attempt
to update the DNS server.
