Hey everyone,

I was always tired of setting up PowerDNS, Bind and PiHole and I am trying to do more projects in Rust, so here is Nomina.

It has:

* Split Horizon DNS (return a different IP/record if remote IP is in a certain network etc)

* DynDNS Support

* Blocklist Integration

* DHCP4+6 Server

* AXFR/IXFR support

* Rewriting of records

It can replace most of the common Home Lab setups incl. PiHole AdBlocking etc.

Why are you setting up dns more than once?

I run my own personal homelab, some off-site private infrastructure, company networks.

As do I. I'm just trying to think of a time I needed to setup dns more than once.
