Replace the CoreDNS precursor with a purpose-built authoritative DNS
server. Zones and records (A, AAAA, CNAME) are stored in SQLite and
managed via synchronized gRPC + REST APIs authenticated through MCIAS.
Non-authoritative queries are forwarded to upstream resolvers with
in-memory caching.
Key components:
- DNS server (miekg/dns) with authoritative zone handling and forwarding
- gRPC + REST management APIs with MCIAS auth (mcdsl integration)
- SQLite storage with CNAME exclusivity enforcement and auto SOA serials
- 30 tests covering database CRUD, DNS resolution, and caching

Serves two internal zones for the Metacircular platform:
- svc.mcp.metacircular.net (service addresses)
- mcp.metacircular.net (node addresses)
Forwards all other queries to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. Includes rift
deployment compose with CoreDNS 1.12.1 and zone files mapping
metacrypt and rift to their LAN and Tailscale addresses.
