>Description:
Totd is a small DNS proxy nameserver that supports IPv6 only hosts/networks
that communicate with the IPv4 world using some translation mechanism.
Examples of such translation mechanisms currently in use are:
* IPv6/IPv4 Network Address and Packet Translation (NAT-PT)
implemented e.g. by Cisco.
* Application level translators as the faithd implemented by
the KAME project (http://www.kame.net). See faithd(8) on
*BSD/Kame.
It is derived from the newbie nameserver, which (amongst others, like
implementing a full experimental nameserver) provides the similar
functionality but is rather big and buggy and the author stopped
working on it.
