I have updated MaraDNS to have DNS-over-TCP work in Windows. For a while now, the "zoneserver" DNS-over-TCP daemon would compile in Windows (as long as Cygwin was installed), but would not run. I have fixed this bug. It's now possible to have DNS-over-TCP using MaraDNS in Windows. ==Downloading this update== The patch can be downloaded here: http://maradns.samiam.org/download/patches/2.0.10/ The snapshot can be downloaded as a tarball (.tar.gz file) here: https://github.com/samboy/MaraDNS/releases/tag/2014-04-26.1 ==Getting DNS-over-TCP in Windows== * Get Cygwin. Be sure to have the gcc compiler. * Download the latest MaraDNS snapshot (see link above). * Compile it in Cygwin: tar xvzf MaraDNS-2014-04-26.1.tar.gz ; cd MaraDNS-2014-02-26.1 ; ./configure ; make * Read this documentation: http://maradns.samiam.org/tutorial/dnstcp.html ==Why I did this== Last November, an anonymous user requested to have DNS-over-TCP in the Windows MaraDNS port. Nearly six months later, I finally got this to work. ==MaraDNS timeline== Unless a security hole is found, updates to MaraDNS are pretty slow. Since I have a six-month-old daughter, and since I am not getting paid to write this code, I have to put MaraDNS on the back burner.
