Hi Karl,

Thanks for your insightful comments and suggestions for WikiDNS 1.0.0.

I welcome feedback and invite you to test WikiDNS 2.1.2 with Python 3:

I will version this release WikiDNS 2.1.2.
Above is an example of a WikiDNS update, client and server in Python<https://www.facebook.com/pythonlang?__cft__[0]=AZWdl2lenl90QIWeuVBVSCTqckXA0CvkrwaWkd-SqNHTaZKYRYfiRaOoKWDo2OscZj7_Cn_E7T9aN7T9ePdMJi9iYzhJy_syIPYs5tsmDEvCJ9gqbt9jWMV-Sth2b_8k6rCZkVdqVbfWIMCH8irritPdXtetIdBDdKXMhkcLn-9Itw&__tn__=-]K-R>.
The client will send requests to update DNS records to the WikiDNS server.
The server will respond to requests for DNS records from the WikiDNS server.

"Submission rejected on 10 February 2024 by CoconutOctopus.
This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia."

The database this project uses is impressively fast. The update
mechanism has one or two security niggles. The range of records
supported seems a little small, though I am sure it can be expanded to
include esoterics like e.g. NS, SRV and AAAA at some time in the
future. The decision to omit any form of permanent storage is
refreshing. DNSSEC, known for its complexity, has been omitted from
this implementation, which will please many users. Licensing is
unclear.

Regards, K.
