pdnsd is a Proxy DNS server for Linux and FreeBSD that is designed to cope with unreacheable nameservers (e.g. because the dial-in link is not up) in a graceful manner to prevent DNS-dependent applications like Netscape from hanging. It has a permanent disk cache and supports parallel query and a wide variety of link uptests. It also has the ability to serve some local records.

Changes:
This version fixes some security problems. It contains a fix for a "dangling pointer" bug that could cause pdnsd to crash when it received a long reply. It also addresses some of the issues raised in the CERT vulnerability note VU#800113 by making source port randomization the default. This release also fixes problems with compiling pdnsd for the ARM architecture and for the Darwin platform (Max OS X). There are a number of (minor) new features, such as support for "include" files.
