Trust-DNS Resolver is a library which implements the DNS resolver using the Trust-DNS Proto library.
This library contains implementations for IPv4 (A) and IPv6 (AAAA) resolution, more features are in the works. It is built on top of the tokio async-io project, this allows it to be integrated into other systems using the tokio and futures libraries. The Trust-DNS project contains other libraries for DNS: a client library for raw protocol usage, a server library for hosting zones, and variations on the TLS implementation over rustls and native-tls.

DoT and DoH are supported. This is accomplished through the use of one of native-tls
, openssl
, or rustls
(only rustls
is currently supported for DoH). The Resolver requires only requires valid DoT or DoH resolvers being registered in order to be used.
To use with the Client
, the TlsClientConnection
or HttpsClientConnection
should be used. Similarly, to use with the tokio AsyncClient
the TlsClientStream
or HttpsClientStream
should be used. ClientAuth, mTLS, is currently not supported, there are some issues still being worked on. TLS is useful for Server authentication and connection privacy.
To enable DoT one of the features dns-over-native-tls
, dns-over-openssl
, or dns-over-rustls
must be enabled, dns-over-https-rustls
is used for DoH.
Enable the TLS library through the dependency on trust-dns-resolver
:
trust-dns-resolver = { version = "*", features = ["dns-over-rustls"] }
A default TLS configuration is available for Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1
DNS service (Quad9 as well):
// Construct a new Resolver with default configuration options let mut resolver = Resolver::new(ResolverConfig::cloudflare_tls(), ResolverOpts::default()).unwrap(); /// see example above...
Currently the root key is hardcoded into the system. This gives validation of DNSKEY and DS records back to the root. NSEC is implemented, but not NSEC3. Because caching is not yet enabled, it has been noticed that some DNS servers appear to rate limit the connections, validating RRSIG records back to the root can require a significant number of additional queries for those records.
Zones will be automatically resigned on any record updates via dynamic DNS. To enable DNSSEC, one of the features dnssec-openssl
or dnssec-rustls
must be enabled.
The current minimum rustc version for this project is 1.39
Trust-DNS does its best job to follow semver. Trust-DNS will be promoted to 1.0 upon stabilization of the publicly exposed APIs. This does not mean that Trust-DNS will necessarily break on upgrades between 0.x updates. Whenever possible, old APIs will be deprecated with notes on what replaced those deprecations. Trust-DNS will make a best effort to never break software which depends on it due to API changes, though this can not be guaranteed. Deprecated interfaces will be maintained for at minimum one major release after that in which they were deprecated (where possible), with the exception of the upgrade to 1.0 where all deprecated interfaces will be planned to be removed.
