jaraco.net
provides miscellaneous utility functions used across
projects developed by the author.
jaraco.net
includes a DNS forwarding service for Windows. This is
because Microsoft appears to be unable to bind to 6 to 4 and Teredo
addresses with their production DNS Server. After installing
jaraco.net
, the service executable is available as
%PYTHON%Scriptsdns-forward-service.exe. In addition to the
documented install/uninstall/start/stop commands, it's also possible
to configure a bind address with the -b option. For example:
dns-forward-service -b 2002:41de:a625::41de:a625 install
The service will be installed and the bind address will be stored in HKLMSoftwarejaraco.netDNS Forwarding ServiceListen Address. Note that the service must be restarted to recognize an updated bind address.
