I would like to have a small modification done to the BIND 9.x source code (from [login to view URL]).
I'd like to create a 'magic' A record that when queried for would give an answer record with the requestors ip address... For instance, if you query for the A record of '[[login to view URL]'][1] and the authoritative dns server has '[login to view URL]' as the rrdata it would swap that for the requestors ip address. I would want any A records (from any response) with [login to view URL] (or some other magical ip) to instead return the ip address of the resolver that requested it. This will be used for some diagnostics, debugging, as well as some research purposes. I understand that the source ip might be an isp caching server or the direct end user - this is part of the project.
The BIND source code is freely available from [login to view URL] and is written in C. A modification to 9.3.1 would be most appropriate. (<[login to view URL]>)
