Great job kai, I'll give it a shot tonight I hope and make your internal 
DNS server my primary DNS server at home.

As far as I'm concerned with recursive DNS working non blocking and 
GSS-based TKEY I'm in the favor of the internal DNS server as default one.

The only question is who will be the maintainer of this code ?
