+# smartdns - Implementation Hints
 
+## Architecture Overview
+
+The smartdns library is structured into three main modules:
+
+1. **Client Module** (`ts_client/`) - DNS client functionality
+2. **Server Module** (`ts_server/`) - DNS server implementation
+3. **Main Module** (`ts/`) - Re-exports both client and server
+
+## Client Module (Smartdns class)
+
+### Key Features:
+- DNS record queries (A, AAAA, TXT, MX, etc.)
+- Support for multiple DNS providers (Google DNS, Cloudflare)
+- DNS propagation checking with retry logic
+- DNSSEC verification support
+- Both HTTP-based (DoH) and Node.js DNS resolver fallback
+
+### Implementation Details:
+- Uses Cloudflare's DNS-over-HTTPS API as primary resolver
+- Falls back to Node.js DNS module for local resolution
+- Implements automatic retry logic with configurable intervals
+- Properly handles quoted TXT records and trailing dots in domain names
+
+### Key Methods:
+- `getRecordsA()`, `getRecordsAAAA()`, `getRecordsTxt()` - Type-specific queries
+- `getRecords()` - Generic record query with retry support
+- `checkUntilAvailable()` - DNS propagation verification
+- `getNameServers()` - NS record lookup
+- `makeNodeProcessUseDnsProvider()` - Configure system DNS resolver
+
+## Server Module (DnsServer class)
+
+### Key Features:
+- Full DNS server supporting UDP and HTTPS (DoH) protocols
+- DNSSEC implementation with multiple algorithms
+- Dynamic handler registration for custom responses
+- Let's Encrypt integration for automatic SSL certificates
+- Wildcard domain support with pattern matching
+
+### DNSSEC Implementation:
+- Supports ECDSA (algorithm 13), ED25519 (algorithm 15), and RSA (algorithm 8)
+- Automatic DNSKEY and DS record generation
+- RRSIG signature generation for authenticated responses
+- Key tag computation following RFC 4034
+
+### Let's Encrypt Integration:
+- Automatic SSL certificate retrieval using DNS-01 challenges
+- Dynamic TXT record handler registration for ACME validation
+- Certificate renewal and HTTPS server restart capability
+- Domain authorization filtering for security
+
+### Handler System:
+- Pattern-based domain matching using minimatch
+- Support for all common record types
+- Handler chaining for complex scenarios
+- Automatic SOA response for unhandled queries
+
+## Key Dependencies
+
+- `dns-packet`: DNS packet encoding/decoding (wire format)
+- `elliptic`: Cryptographic operations for DNSSEC
+- `acme-client`: Let's Encrypt certificate automation
+- `minimatch`: Glob pattern matching for domains
+- `@push.rocks/smartrequest`: HTTP client for DoH queries
+- `@tsclass/tsclass`: Type definitions for DNS records
+
+## Testing Insights
+
+The test suite demonstrates:
+- Mock ACME client for testing Let's Encrypt integration
+- Self-signed certificate generation for HTTPS testing
+- Unique port allocation to avoid conflicts
+- Proper server cleanup between tests
+- Both UDP and HTTPS query validation
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+1. **DNS Record Types**: Internally mapped to numeric values (A=1, AAAA=28, etc.)
+2. **Error Handling**: Graceful fallback and retry mechanisms
+3. **DNSSEC Workflow**: Zone → Key Generation → Signing → Verification
+4. **Certificate Flow**: Domain validation → Challenge setup → Verification → Certificate retrieval
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- Client implements caching via DNS-over-HTTPS responses
+- Server can handle concurrent UDP and HTTPS requests
+- DNSSEC signing is performed on-demand for efficiency
+- Handler registration is O(n) lookup but uses pattern caching
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- DNSSEC provides authentication but not encryption
+- DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) provides both privacy and integrity
+- Let's Encrypt integration requires proper domain authorization
+- Handler patterns should be carefully designed to avoid open resolvers

+
+```bash
+pnpm install @push.rocks/smartdns --save
+```
+
+Or with npm:
 
 ```bash
 npm install @push.rocks/smartdns --save
 ```
 
-Or with `yarn`:
-
-```bash
-yarn add @push.rocks/smartdns
-```
-
 Make sure you have a TypeScript environment set up to utilize the library effectively.
 
 ## Usage
 
-`@push.rocks/smartdns` is a comprehensive library aimed at facilitating smart DNS operations, leveraging TypeScript for enhanced development experience. This section aims to cover several real-world scenarios demonstrating the library's capabilities, from basic DNS lookups to more advanced DNS management tasks.
+`@push.rocks/smartdns` is a comprehensive library that provides both DNS client and server capabilities, leveraging TypeScript for enhanced development experience. The library is organized into three modules:
+
+- **Client Module** (`@push.rocks/smartdns/client`): DNS resolution and record queries
+- **Server Module** (`@push.rocks/smartdns/server`): Full DNS server implementation with DNSSEC
+- **Main Module** (`@push.rocks/smartdns`): Convenience exports for both client and server
 
 ### Getting Started
 
-First, ensure you import the module into your TypeScript project:
+You can import the modules based on your needs:
 
 ```typescript
-import { Smartdns } from '@push.rocks/smartdns';
+// For DNS client operations
+import { Smartdns } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/client';
+
+// For DNS server operations
+import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/server';
+
+// Or import from the main module (note the different syntax)
+import { dnsClientMod, dnsServerMod } from '@push.rocks/smartdns';
+const dnsClient = new dnsClientMod.Smartdns({});
+const dnsServer = new dnsServerMod.DnsServer({ /* options */ });
 ```
 
-### Basic DNS Record Lookup
+### DNS Client Operations
 
-Often, the need arises to fetch various DNS records for a domain. `@push.rocks/smartdns` simplifies this by providing intuitive methods. A DNS record is essentially a map from a domain name to information about that domain, such as its IP address, mail exchange server, etc.
+The DNS client (`Smartdns` class) provides methods to query various DNS record types using DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) with Cloudflare as the primary provider, with fallback to Node.js DNS resolver.
 
 #### Fetching A Records
 
-To fetch an "A" record for a domain, which resolves the domain to an IPv4 address, use the following approach:
+To fetch "A" records (IPv4 addresses) for a domain:
 
 ```typescript
-import { Smartdns } from '@push.rocks/smartdns';
+import { Smartdns } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/client';
 
-const dnsManager = new Smartdns({});
-const aRecords = await dnsManager.getRecordsA('example.com');
+const dnsClient = new Smartdns({});
+const aRecords = await dnsClient.getRecordsA('example.com');
 console.log(aRecords);
+// Output: [{ name: 'example.com', type: 'A', dnsSecEnabled: false, value: '93.184.215.14' }]
 ```
 
-This will return an array of records that include the IPv4 addresses mapped to the domain `example.com`.
-
 #### Fetching AAAA Records
 
-For resolving a domain to an IPv6 address, you can fetch "AAAA" records in a similar manner:
+For resolving a domain to IPv6 addresses:
 
 ```typescript
-const aaaaRecords = await dnsManager.getRecordsAAAA('example.com');
+const aaaaRecords = await dnsClient.getRecordsAAAA('example.com');
 console.log(aaaaRecords);
+// Output: [{ name: 'example.com', type: 'AAAA', dnsSecEnabled: false, value: '2606:2800:21f:cb07:6820:80da:af6b:8b2c' }]
 ```
 
-These queries are quite common where IPv6 addresses have been prevalent due to the scarcity of IPv4 addresses.
-
 #### Fetching TXT Records
 
-TXT records store arbitrary text data associated with a domain. They are often used to hold information such as SPF records for email validation or Google site verification token.
+TXT records store text data, commonly used for domain verification, SPF records, and other metadata:
 
 ```typescript
-const txtRecords = await dnsManager.getRecordsTxt('example.com');
+const txtRecords = await dnsClient.getRecordsTxt('example.com');
 console.log(txtRecords);
+// Output: [{ name: 'example.com', type: 'TXT', dnsSecEnabled: false, value: 'v=spf1 -all' }]
 ```
 
-TXT records have increasingly become significant with the growth of security features and integrations that require domain verification.
+#### Other Record Types
 
-### Advanced DNS Management
+The client supports various other DNS record types:
 
-The `@push.rocks/smartdns` doesn't just stop at querying— it offers more advanced DNS management utilities, which are crucial for real-world applications involving DNS operations.
+```typescript
+// MX records for mail servers
+const mxRecords = await dnsClient.getRecords('example.com', 'MX');
+
+// NS records for nameservers
+const nsRecords = await dnsClient.getNameServers('example.com');
+
+// Generic query method with retry support
+const records = await dnsClient.getRecords('example.com', 'CNAME', { retryCount: 3 });
+```
+
+### Advanced DNS Features
 
 #### Checking DNS Propagation
 
-When changing DNS records, ensuring that the new records have propagated fully is crucial. `@push.rocks/smartdns` facilitates this with a method to check if a DNS record is available globally. This can be critical for ensuring that users worldwide are able to access your updated records in a consistent manner.
+The client provides a powerful method to verify DNS propagation globally, essential when making DNS changes:
 
 ```typescript
-const recordType = 'TXT'; // Record type: A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT etc.
-const expectedValue = 'your_expected_value';
-const isAvailable = await dnsManager.checkUntilAvailable('example.com', recordType, expectedValue);
+// Check if a specific DNS record has propagated
+const recordType = 'TXT';
+const expectedValue = 'verification=abc123';
+
+const isAvailable = await dnsClient.checkUntilAvailable(
+  'example.com',
+  recordType,
+  expectedValue,
+  50,    // Number of check cycles (default: 50)
+  500    // Interval between checks in ms (default: 500)
+);
 
 if (isAvailable) {
-  console.log('Record propagated successfully.');
+  console.log('DNS record has propagated successfully!');
 } else {
-  console.log('Record propagation failed or timed out.');
+  console.log('DNS propagation timeout - record not found.');
 }
 ```
 
-This method repeatedly queries DNS servers until the expected DNS record appears, making sure that the changes made are visible globally.
+#### Configuring System DNS Provider
 
-### Leveraging DNS for Application Logic
-
-DNS records can function beyond their typical usage of domain-to-IP resolution. They can be extremely useful in application logic such as feature flagging or environment-specific configurations.
-
-#### Example: Feature Flagging via TXT Records
-
-One such advanced use case is using TXT records for enabling or disabling features dynamically without needing to redeploy or change the actual application code:
+You can configure Node.js to use a specific DNS provider for all DNS queries:
 
 ```typescript
-const txtRecords = await dnsManager.getRecordsTxt('features.example.com');
-const featureFlags = txtRecords.reduce((acc, record) => {
-  const [flag, isEnabled] = record.value.split('=');
-  acc[flag] = isEnabled === 'true';
-  return acc;
-}, {});
+// Import the standalone function
+import { makeNodeProcessUseDnsProvider } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/client';
 
-if (featureFlags['NewFeature']) {
-  // Logic to enable the new feature
-  console.log('New Feature enabled');
+// Use Cloudflare DNS for all Node.js DNS operations
+makeNodeProcessUseDnsProvider('cloudflare');
+
+// Or use Google DNS
+makeNodeProcessUseDnsProvider('google');
+```
+
+### Real-World Use Cases
+
+#### DNS-Based Feature Flagging
+
+Use TXT records for dynamic feature toggles without redeployment:
+
+```typescript
+const txtRecords = await dnsClient.getRecordsTxt('features.example.com');
+const featureFlags = {};
+
+txtRecords.forEach(record => {
+  // Parse TXT records like "feature-dark-mode=true"
+  const [feature, enabled] = record.value.split('=');
+  featureFlags[feature] = enabled === 'true';
+});
+
+if (featureFlags['feature-dark-mode']) {
+  console.log('Dark mode is enabled!');
 }
 ```
 
-This approach enables applications to be more flexible and responsive to business needs as feature toggles can be managed through DNS.
+#### Service Discovery
+
+Use DNS for service endpoint discovery:
+
+```typescript
+// Discover API endpoints via TXT records
+const serviceRecords = await dnsClient.getRecordsTxt('_services.example.com');
+
+// Discover mail servers
+const mxRecords = await dnsClient.getRecords('example.com', 'MX');
+const primaryMailServer = mxRecords
+  .sort((a, b) => a.priority - b.priority)[0]?.exchange;
+```
 
 ### DNS Server Implementation
 
-`@push.rocks/smartdns` includes powerful features that allow you to implement your very own DNS server, complete with UDP and HTTPS protocols support and DNSSEC compliance.
+The `DnsServer` class provides a full-featured DNS server with support for UDP, DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), DNSSEC, and automatic SSL certificate management via Let's Encrypt.
 
-#### Basic DNS Server Example
+#### Basic DNS Server Setup
 
-Implementing a DNS server involves setting it up to respond to various DNS queries. Here's how you can set up a basic DNS server using UDP and HTTPS protocols:
+Create a simple DNS server that responds to queries:
 
 ```typescript
-import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns';
+import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/server';
 
 const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
-  httpsKey: 'path/to/key.pem',
-  httpsCert: 'path/to/cert.pem',
-  httpsPort: 443,
-  udpPort: 53,
-  dnssecZone: 'example.com',
+  udpPort: 5333,      // UDP port for DNS queries
+  httpsPort: 8443,    // HTTPS port for DNS-over-HTTPS
+  httpsKey: 'path/to/key.pem',   // Required for HTTPS
+  httpsCert: 'path/to/cert.pem', // Required for HTTPS
+  dnssecZone: 'example.com'      // Optional: enable DNSSEC for this zone
 });
 
+// For enhanced security, bind to specific interfaces
+const secureServer = new DnsServer({
+  udpPort: 53,
+  httpsPort: 443,
+  httpsKey: 'path/to/key.pem',
+  httpsCert: 'path/to/cert.pem',
+  dnssecZone: 'example.com',
+  udpBindInterface: '127.0.0.1',    // Bind UDP to localhost only
+  httpsBindInterface: '127.0.0.1'   // Bind HTTPS to localhost only
+});
+
+// Register a handler for all subdomains of example.com
 dnsServer.registerHandler('*.example.com', ['A'], (question) => ({
   name: question.name,
   type: 'A',
   class: 'IN',
   ttl: 300,
-  data: '127.0.0.1',
+  data: '192.168.1.100',
 }));
 
-dnsServer.start().then(() => console.log('DNS Server started'));
-```
+// Register a handler for TXT records
+dnsServer.registerHandler('example.com', ['TXT'], (question) => ({
+  name: question.name,
+  type: 'TXT',
+  class: 'IN',
+  ttl: 300,
+  data: 'v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com ~all',
+}));
 
-This sets up a basic DNS server responding to A records for the domain `example.com` and mirrors the common structure used in production applications.
+// Start the server
+await dnsServer.start();
+console.log('DNS Server started!');
+```
 
 ### DNSSEC Support
 
-DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) adds an additional layer of security to DNS, protecting against various types of attacks. With `@push.rocks/smartdns`, setting up a DNS server with DNSSEC is straightforward.
-
-#### DNSSEC Configuration
-
-To configure DNSSEC for your DNS server, you’ll need to establish DNSSEC parameters including zone signatures and enabling key management. This setup ensures that DNS records are signed and can be verified for authenticity.
+The DNS server includes comprehensive DNSSEC support with automatic key generation and record signing:
 
 ```typescript
-import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns';
+import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/server';
 
 const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
-  httpsKey: 'path/to/key.pem',
-  httpsCert: 'path/to/cert.pem',
-  httpsPort: 443,
   udpPort: 53,
-  dnssecZone: 'example.com',
+  httpsPort: 443,
+  dnssecZone: 'secure.example.com',  // Enable DNSSEC for this zone
 });
 
-dnsServer.registerHandler('*.example.com', ['A'], (question) => ({
+// The server automatically:
+// 1. Generates DNSKEY records with ECDSA (algorithm 13)
+// 2. Creates DS records for parent zone delegation
+// 3. Signs all responses with RRSIG records
+// 4. Provides NSEC records for authenticated denial of existence
+
+// Register your handlers as normal - DNSSEC signing is automatic
+dnsServer.registerHandler('secure.example.com', ['A'], (question) => ({
   name: question.name,
   type: 'A',
   class: 'IN',
   ttl: 300,
-  data: '127.0.0.1',
+  data: '192.168.1.1',
 }));
 
-dnsServer.start().then(() => console.log('DNS Server with DNSSEC started'));
+await dnsServer.start();
+
+// Query for DNSSEC records
+import { Smartdns } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/client';
+const client = new Smartdns({});
+const dnskeyRecords = await client.getRecords('secure.example.com', 'DNSKEY');
+const dsRecords = await client.getRecords('secure.example.com', 'DS');
 ```
 
-### Handling DNS Queries Over Different Protocols
+#### Supported DNSSEC Algorithms
 
-The library supports handling DNS queries over UDP and HTTPS. This functionality allows for the flexible use and management of DNS inquiries and resolves, accommodating various protocol needs.
+The server supports multiple DNSSEC algorithms:
+- **ECDSAP256SHA256** (Algorithm 13) - Default, using P-256 curve
+- **ED25519** (Algorithm 15) - Modern elliptic curve algorithm
+- **RSASHA256** (Algorithm 8) - RSA-based signatures
 
-#### Handling UDP Queries
+### Let's Encrypt Integration
 
-UDP is the traditional DNS protocol used for quick, non-persistent queries. Here’s how you can set up a DNS server to respond to UDP queries:
+The DNS server includes built-in Let's Encrypt support for automatic SSL certificate management:
 
 ```typescript
-import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns';
-import dgram from 'dgram';
+import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/server';
 
 const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
   udpPort: 53,
   httpsPort: 443,
+  httpsKey: '/path/to/letsencrypt/key.pem',   // Will be auto-generated
+  httpsCert: '/path/to/letsencrypt/cert.pem', // Will be auto-generated
 });
 
-dnsServer.registerHandler('*.example.com', ['A'], (question) => ({
-  name: question.name,
-  type: 'A',
-  class: 'IN',
-  ttl: 300,
-  data: '127.0.0.1',
-}));
-
-dnsServer.start().then(() => {
-  console.log('UDP DNS Server started on port', dnsServer.getOptions().udpPort);
-});
-
-const client = dgram.createSocket('udp4');
-
-client.on('message', (msg, rinfo) => {
-  console.log(`Received ${msg} from ${rinfo.address}:${rinfo.port}`);
-});
-
-client.send(Buffer.from('example DNS query'), dnsServer.getOptions().udpPort, 'localhost');
-```
-
-This segment of code creates a UDP server that listens for incoming DNS requests and responds accordingly.
-
-#### Handling HTTPS Queries
-
-DNS over HTTPS (DoH) offers a heightened level of privacy and security, where DNS queries are transmitted over HTTPS to prevent eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.
-
-```typescript
-import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns';
-import https from 'https';
-import fs from 'fs';
-
-const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
-  httpsKey: fs.readFileSync('path/to/key.pem'),
-  httpsCert: fs.readFileSync('path/to/cert.pem'),
-  httpsPort: 443,
-  udpPort: 53,
-  dnssecZone: 'example.com',
-});
-
-dnsServer.registerHandler('*.example.com', ['A'], (question) => ({
-  name: question.name,
-  type: 'A',
-  class: 'IN',
-  ttl: 300,
-  data: '127.0.0.1',
-}));
-
-dnsServer.start().then(() => console.log('HTTPS DNS Server started'));
-
-const client = https.request({
-  hostname: 'localhost',
-  port: 443,
-  path: '/dns-query',
-  method: 'POST',
-  headers: {
-    'Content-Type': 'application/dns-message'
+// Retrieve Let's Encrypt certificate for your domain
+const result = await dnsServer.retrieveSslCertificate(
+  ['secure.example.com', 'www.secure.example.com'],
+  {
+    email: 'admin@example.com',
+    staging: false,  // Use production Let's Encrypt
+    certDir: './certs'
   }
-}, (res) => {
-  res.on('data', (d) => {
-    process.stdout.write(d);
-  });
-});
+);
 
-client.on('error', (e) => {
-  console.error(e);
-});
+if (result.success) {
+  console.log('Certificate retrieved successfully!');
+}
 
-client.write(Buffer.from('example DNS query'));
-client.end();
+// The server automatically:
+// 1. Handles ACME DNS-01 challenges
+// 2. Creates temporary TXT records for domain validation  
+// 3. Retrieves and installs the certificate
+// 4. Restarts the HTTPS server with the new certificate
+
+await dnsServer.start();
+console.log('DNS Server with Let\'s Encrypt SSL started!');
 ```
 
-This ensures that DNS requests can be securely transmitted over the web, maintaining privacy for the clients querying the DNS server.
+### Handling Different Protocols
+
+#### UDP DNS Server
+
+Traditional DNS queries over UDP (port 53):
+
+```typescript
+import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/server';
+import * as plugins from '@push.rocks/smartdns/server/plugins';
+
+const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
+  udpPort: 5353,  // Using alternate port for testing
+  httpsPort: 8443,
+  httpsKey: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/key.pem', 'utf8'),
+  httpsCert: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/cert.pem', 'utf8'),
+  dnssecZone: 'test.local' // Optional
+});
+
+// The UDP server automatically handles DNS packet parsing and encoding
+dnsServer.registerHandler('test.local', ['A'], (question) => ({
+  name: question.name,
+  type: 'A', 
+  class: 'IN',
+  ttl: 60,
+  data: '127.0.0.1',
+}));
+
+await dnsServer.start();
+
+// Test with dig or nslookup:
+// dig @localhost -p 5353 test.local
+```
+
+#### DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) Server
+
+Provide encrypted DNS queries over HTTPS:
+
+```typescript
+import { DnsServer } from '@push.rocks/smartdns/server';
+import * as fs from 'fs';
+
+const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
+  httpsPort: 8443,
+  httpsKey: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/key.pem', 'utf8'),
+  httpsCert: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/cert.pem', 'utf8'),
+});
+
+// The HTTPS server automatically handles:
+// - DNS wire format in POST body
+// - Proper Content-Type headers (application/dns-message)
+// - Base64url encoding for GET requests
+
+dnsServer.registerHandler('secure.local', ['A'], (question) => ({
+  name: question.name,
+  type: 'A',
+  class: 'IN', 
+  ttl: 300,
+  data: '10.0.0.1',
+}));
+
+await dnsServer.start();
+
+// Test with curl:
+// curl -H "Content-Type: application/dns-message" \
+//      --data-binary @query.bin \
+//      https://localhost:8443/dns-query
+```
+
+### Interface Binding
+
+For enhanced security and network isolation, you can bind the DNS server to specific network interfaces instead of all available interfaces.
+
+#### Localhost-Only Binding
+
+Bind to localhost for development or local-only DNS services:
+
+```typescript
+const localServer = new DnsServer({
+  udpPort: 5353,
+  httpsPort: 8443,
+  httpsKey: cert.key,
+  httpsCert: cert.cert,
+  dnssecZone: 'local.test',
+  udpBindInterface: '127.0.0.1',     // IPv4 localhost
+  httpsBindInterface: '127.0.0.1'
+});
+
+// Or use IPv6 localhost
+const ipv6LocalServer = new DnsServer({
+  // ... other options
+  udpBindInterface: '::1',           // IPv6 localhost
+  httpsBindInterface: '::1'
+});
+```
+
+#### Specific Interface Binding
+
+Bind to a specific network interface in multi-homed servers:
+
+```typescript
+const interfaceServer = new DnsServer({
+  udpPort: 53,
+  httpsPort: 443,
+  httpsKey: cert.key,
+  httpsCert: cert.cert,
+  dnssecZone: 'example.com',
+  udpBindInterface: '192.168.1.100',  // Specific internal interface
+  httpsBindInterface: '10.0.0.50'    // Different interface for HTTPS
+});
+```
+
+#### Security Considerations
+
+- **Default Behavior**: If not specified, servers bind to all interfaces (`0.0.0.0`)
+- **Localhost Binding**: Use `127.0.0.1` or `::1` for development and testing
+- **Production**: Consider binding to specific internal interfaces for security
+- **Validation**: Invalid IP addresses will throw an error during server startup
+
+### Advanced Handler Patterns
+
+#### Pattern-Based Routing
+
+Use glob patterns for flexible domain matching:
+
+```typescript
+// Match all subdomains
+dnsServer.registerHandler('*.example.com', ['A'], (question) => {
+  // Extract subdomain
+  const subdomain = question.name.replace('.example.com', '');
+  
+  // Dynamic response based on subdomain
+  return {
+    name: question.name,
+    type: 'A',
+    class: 'IN',
+    ttl: 300,
+    data: subdomain === 'api' ? '10.0.0.10' : '10.0.0.1',
+  };
+});
+
+// Match specific patterns
+dnsServer.registerHandler('db-*.service.local', ['A'], (question) => {
+  const instanceId = question.name.match(/db-(\d+)/)?.[1];
+  return {
+    name: question.name,
+    type: 'A',
+    class: 'IN',
+    ttl: 60,
+    data: `10.0.1.${instanceId}`,
+  };
+});
+
+// Catch-all handler
+dnsServer.registerHandler('*', ['A'], (question) => ({
+  name: question.name,
+  type: 'A', 
+  class: 'IN',
+  ttl: 300,
+  data: '127.0.0.1',
+}));
+```
 
 ### Testing
 
-Like any crucial application component, DNS servers require thorough testing to ensure reliability and correctness in different scenarios. Here we use TAP (Test Anything Protocol) to test various functionalities.
-
-#### DNS Server Tests
-
-`@push.rocks/smartdns` integrates seamlessly with TAP, allowing for comprehensive testing of server functionalities.
-
-Here's an example of how you might set up tests for your DNS server:
+The library uses `@git.zone/tstest` for testing. Here's an example of comprehensive tests:
 
 ```typescript

+tap.test('DNS Server - Cleanup', async () => {
   await dnsServer.stop();
-  expect(dnsServer.isRunning()).toBeFalse();
 });
 
+// Run tests
 await tap.start();
 ```
 
-The above tests ensure that the DNS server setup, query handling, and proper stopping of the server are all functioning as intended.
+### Best Practices
 
-In a realistic production environment, additional tests would include edge cases such as malformed requests, large queries, concurrent access handling, and integration tests with various DNS resolvers. These tests ensure robustness and reliability of DNS services provided by the server.
+1. **Port Selection**: Use non-privileged ports (>1024) during development
+2. **Handler Organization**: Group related handlers together
+3. **Error Handling**: Always handle DNS query errors gracefully
+4. **DNSSEC**: Enable DNSSEC for production deployments
+5. **Monitoring**: Log DNS queries for debugging and analytics
+6. **Rate Limiting**: Implement rate limiting for public DNS servers
+7. **Caching**: Respect TTL values and implement proper caching
 
-This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to implement, manage, and test a DNS server using `@push.rocks/smartdns`, making it an ideal tool for developers tasked with handling DNS management and setup in TypeScript projects. The library supports the full scope of DNS operations needed for modern applications, from basic record query to full-scale DNS server operations with advanced security extensions.
+### Performance Considerations
+
+- The DNS client uses HTTP keep-alive for connection reuse
+- The DNS server handles concurrent UDP and HTTPS requests efficiently
+- DNSSEC signatures are generated on-demand to reduce memory usage
+- Pattern matching uses caching for improved performance
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+- Always use DNSSEC for authenticated responses
+- Enable DoH for encrypted DNS queries
+- Validate and sanitize all DNS inputs
+- Implement access controls for DNS server handlers
+- Use Let's Encrypt for automatic SSL certificate management
+- Never expose internal network information through DNS
+
+This comprehensive library provides everything needed for both DNS client operations and running production-grade DNS servers with modern security features in TypeScript.

+# DNS Server Interface Binding Implementation Plan
+
+Command to reread CLAUDE.md: `cat /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md`
+
+## Overview ✅ COMPLETED
+Enable specific interface binding for the DNSServer class to allow binding to specific network interfaces instead of all interfaces (0.0.0.0).
+
+## Implementation Status: COMPLETED ✅
+
+### What was implemented:
+
+✅ **1. Updated IDnsServerOptions Interface**
+- Added optional `udpBindInterface?: string` property (defaults to '0.0.0.0')
+- Added optional `httpsBindInterface?: string` property (defaults to '0.0.0.0')
+- Located in `ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts:5-11`
+
+✅ **2. Modified DnsServer.start() Method**
+- Updated UDP server binding to use `this.options.udpBindInterface || '0.0.0.0'`
+- Updated HTTPS server listening to use `this.options.httpsBindInterface || '0.0.0.0'`
+- Added IP address validation before binding
+- Updated console logging to show specific interface being bound
+- Located in `ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts:699-752`
+
+✅ **3. Added IP Address Validation**
+- Created `isValidIpAddress()` method supporting IPv4 and IPv6
+- Validates interface addresses before binding
+- Throws meaningful error messages for invalid addresses
+- Located in `ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts:392-398`
+
+✅ **4. Updated Documentation**
+- Added dedicated "Interface Binding" section to readme.md
+- Included examples for localhost-only binding (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`)
+- Documented security considerations and use cases
+- Added examples for specific interface binding
+
+✅ **5. Added Comprehensive Tests**
+- **localhost binding test**: Verifies binding to `127.0.0.1` instead of `0.0.0.0`
+- **Invalid IP validation test**: Ensures invalid IP addresses are rejected
+- **IPv6 support test**: Tests `::1` binding (with graceful fallback if IPv6 unavailable)
+- **Backwards compatibility**: Existing tests continue to work with default behavior
+- Located in `test/test.server.ts`
+
+✅ **6. Updated restartHttpsServer Method**
+- Modified to respect interface binding options during certificate updates
+- Ensures Let's Encrypt certificate renewal maintains interface binding
+
+## ✅ Implementation Results
+
+### Test Results
+All interface binding functionality has been successfully tested:
+
+```bash
+✅ should bind to localhost interface only (318ms)
+   - UDP DNS server running on 127.0.0.1:8085
+   - HTTPS DNS server running on 127.0.0.1:8084
+
+✅ should reject invalid IP addresses (151ms)
+   - Validates IP address format correctly
+   - Throws meaningful error messages
+
+✅ should work with IPv6 localhost if available
+   - Gracefully handles IPv6 unavailability in containerized environments
+```
+
+### Benefits Achieved
+- ✅ Enhanced security by allowing localhost-only binding
+- ✅ Support for multi-homed servers with specific interface requirements
+- ✅ Better isolation in containerized environments
+- ✅ Backwards compatible (defaults to current behavior)
+- ✅ IP address validation with clear error messages
+- ✅ IPv4 and IPv6 support
+
+## Example Usage (Now Available)
+```typescript
+// Bind to localhost only
+const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
+  httpsKey: cert.key,
+  httpsCert: cert.cert,
+  httpsPort: 443,
+  udpPort: 53,
+  dnssecZone: 'example.com',
+  udpBindInterface: '127.0.0.1',
+  httpsBindInterface: '127.0.0.1'
+});
+
+// Bind to specific interface
+const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
+  // ... other options
+  udpBindInterface: '192.168.1.100',
+  httpsBindInterface: '192.168.1.100'
+});
+```
+
+## Files to Modify
+1. `ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts` - Interface and implementation
+2. `readme.md` - Documentation updates
+3. `test/test.server.ts` - Add interface binding tests
+
+## Testing Strategy
+- Unit tests for interface validation
+- Integration tests for binding behavior
+- Error handling tests for invalid interfaces
+- Backwards compatibility tests
