We will be releasing a forwarding DNSCurve capable name server to the
public in the next week. It is able to forward both DNS and DNSCurve
queries (over UDP and TCP) towards one authoritative name server at
fairly high speed.

I have not done any work on implementing DNSCurve for dnscache. I do
however remember that Matthew Dempsky wrote some (beta) patches for
that. I'm sure he's on the list.

Implementing DNSCurve specifically for tinydns sounds like a cool
adventure. I do not know whether somebody has done anything on that? If
I have some time left, I might dive into that.

I do however have a patch for PowerDNS, making it able to speak DNSCurve
to authoritative name servers on the resolver side. I think I will be
publishing that together with the forwarding name server sometime later.
