Package request: bind9

[lkollenberger]

Please add this package. It would be really nice to use my old phone as a DNS server. Thanks!

This probably belongs to termux-root-packages coz you can hardly use a port other than 53 for DNS?

[Neo-Oli]

@tomty89 Bind does support listening on other ports, which you can then query with nslookup -port=1053 or dig -p 1053. It won't be as useful as when run on port 53, but it can still be used to test config files for example. Or you can run nginx as root and translate the port of a non-root bind. Or you can use external network devices to reroute dns traffic to the correct port on termux.

If this is still relevant, I compiled this program for aarch64 myself. For correct operation, you need to install all deb files in this release:

In addition to the above, adding bind9 would also be useful to allow the inclusion of the bind9-utils package, for utils such as dnssec-keygen for local DNSKEY & KEY pair generation under termux.
