DNS server LaMaraDNS is running on cygwin

["Gerrit P. Haase" <freeweb at nyckelpiga dot de>]

Hallo Cygwinners,

I have successful compiled ˇLaMaraDNS! ( http://www.maradns.org/ )
ˇLaMaraDNS! is an alpha-quality authoritative and recursive (caching)
DNS server.

>From the website:
=================
This DNS server has the following features:

  Security-aware programming. A DNS server needs to be secure.
  - I have a number of security features in the code, including:
      1. The code uses a special string library which is resistant
         to buffer overflows.
      2. The code, if started as root, mandates running as an
         unprivledged user in a chroot() jail.
  - Open-Source. This DNS server is public-domain code. There are
    no restrictions attached to this code.
  - Simplicity. This DNS server has the minimum number of features
    needed to correctly act as an authoritative and/or recursive
    name server.

Examples:

I have a patch attached if someone wants to test it;)
Just put the patch and the source in one directory and do:

$ tar xvjf maradns-0.8.35.tar.bz2
$ cd maradns-0.8.35
$ patch -p1 < ../maradns.patch
$ make
$ make install
