Is alternative crypto backend considered?

API compatibility is less of an issue – we need to build a means to select the crypto backend, anyway. DNSSEC signing is on our list for later this year....

command line switch for config test or general exit on config errors

This indeed seems like a reasonable feature and should be implemented for the next release.

function dname_from_addr

It’s still a good suggestion and we will provide this in some form …

Panic: "attempt to calculate the remainder with a divisor of zero"

It seems you are iterating over an empty server list. Did you perchance forget to call `ResolvConf::finalize` before using the config?

Panic: "attempt to calculate the remainder with a divisor of zero"

I agree this should be changed into having a separate builder type. But in any case, looking at the code properly now, it should be able to deal with empty...

Panic: "attempt to calculate the remainder with a divisor of zero"

Using a stub resolver in the way you build it above works fine here – indeed in this case you don’t need to explicitly finalize t. It also looks in...

Panic: "attempt to calculate the remainder with a divisor of zero"

We have a plan to factor our the actual networking from the stub resolver to make it easier to build proxies and such. For the time being, you approach looks...

Panic: "attempt to calculate the remainder with a divisor of zero"

The actual querying code is rather simple. All of it is in `src/resolv/stub/mod.rs`. The question is turned into a query in `Query::create_message` and `ServerInfo::prepare_message` (the latter adds an OPT record...

Cheeky ;) For what it’s worth: Factoring out the transports and making them available directly is probably the next thing we are going to do once I have finished #160.

Difference between domain::base::name::Dname and domain::rdata::dname::Dname?

Sorry for the late reply. Summer vacation and all that. The type in the `rdata` module is for the DNAME record type, which is like a CNAME but delegates the...
