NAME
     ironsides — authoritative DNS server

SYNOPSIS
     ironsides [configuration_file]

DESCRIPTION
     IRONSIDES is an authoritative DNS server that is provably invulnerable to
     many of the problems that plague other servers. It achieves this property
     through the use of formal methods in its design, in particular the lan‐
     guage Ada and the SPARK formal methods tool set. Code validated in this
     way is provably exception-free, contains no data flow errors, and termi‐
     nates only in the ways that its programmers explicitly say that it can.
     These are very desirable properties from a computer security perspective.

     IRONSIDES is not a complete implementation of DNS. In particular, it does
     not support zone transfers or recursive queries. It does, however, sup‐
     port a sufficient number of DNS records to be useful as an authoritative
     DNS server for an enterprise.

OPTIONS
     ironsides does not take any options. However, you must supply a configu‐
     ration file.  The included dfcs.usafa.edu.zonefile file is a sample con‐
     figuration.

BUGS
     No known bugs.
