Description

Balances and filters DNS traffic with awareness of DNS behavior, denial-of-service patterns, and abuse controls. It is used in front of DNS resolvers or authoritative servers to improve routing, policy, and resilience.

Use it only when operating DNS infrastructure. Misconfiguration can break name resolution for many users, so test rules, health checks, and rate limits carefully.

How to run
