We have a special NANOG68 second alpha release of getdns 1.1.0 available for early testing of a subset of features planned for this release.

This release introduces Stubby, a version of getdns_query that listens on the loopback interface and acts as a local stub resolver daemon. Stubby reads configuration files from /etc/stubby.conf and $HOME/.stubby.conf. Here is an example stubby configuration that configures Stubby to use the DNS-OARC TLS resolvers as its upstream:

{ dns_transport_list: [ GETDNS_TRANSPORT_TLS ]
, upstream_recursive_servers: [ 184.105.193.78, 2620:ff:c000:0:1::64:25 ]
}
`

For more information, see the NANOG68 presentation: https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/3_stubby-nanog68.pdf

Documentation is available at:

• getdns API documentation: https://getdnsapi.net/documentation/spec/
• getdns doxygen: https://getdnsapi.net/doxygen/
• getdns as a DNS-over-TLS local stub resolver:https://portal.sinodun.com/wiki/display/TDNS/DNS+Privacy+daemon+-+Stubby

Beware that this documentation is not on par with Stubby operation yet. Expect an updated announcement on the website as soon as we have updated the documentation.
