Delphinusdnsd is able to restrict answers to a hash of an IP/IPv6 between 1 and 127 packets per second.

Delphinusdnsd from version 1.5.0 onwards can act as a forwarder, and can utilize a secure channel granted with TSIG protection (shared keys).

Delphinusdnsd is developed on the OpenBSD Operating System. Ports to FreeBSD, and Linux exist. Ports to Windows OS and Mac OS (again) are planned.

It is written in the C programming language. It was developed while the main programmer lived in Germany, European Union.
