It works indeed like Matthew's forwarder. It is actually based on it. So
if you want your authoritative name server (running tinydns, PowerDNS,
Microsoft DNS server, MaraDNS, or whatsoever, even BIND) to become
DNSCurve capable, you just have to plug in this forwarding name server
and publish NS records containing respective DNSCurve public keys.
