Thanks for this info. I've had a quick look around your website.
Is this open-source, and what are the licensing terms for this
library?
It is our basic BSD License, just like Bind. See
<http://nlnetlabs.nl/svn/ldns/tags/release-1.3.0/LICENSE>
It certainly looks like it will do the job for me.
The idea is that it gives a some more abstraction so you don't have
to deal too much with the low level nitty gritty details. It is not
unlike the PERL::DNS tools.
I would have preferred to use the bind libraries, and if anyone
can point out any documentation/pointers in the meantime I'll
gladly give it a whirl.
There are the man pages Mark pointed at but ...
It's safe to say I'm still a novice when it comes to C, which
is why at the moment I prefer to read documentation rather than
already-written code.
... they might be too dense for you. There are some annotated examples
and there are some on line tutorials.
There is also a user maillists dedicated to ldns
