I would very much like support for Bind9 instead of dnsmasq as bind9 has more functionality built in and is more commonly used (as it is installed on default of Ubuntu server)

If possible, please consider supporting Bind9 in the near future.

This was pretty much the plan :^) see #12 , the main reason to support dnsmasq was that it comes with most custom router firmwares (mine :p).

I haven't gotten around to setting up a bind server to do this, but if you'd be willing to write a generator and send a pull request I'll definitely accept it! :)

I actually do have Tomato by Shibby installed in my router and I do have support for dnsmasq. It is a different story when I use outside my router coverage as I don't have access to my router externally outside the internal network. (local or hosts file is not an option in the large scale...)

If this can be done via Bind9, I would be able to create fully fledged Bind9 server that would support the need. I am aware that this can be done with dnsmasq but again, the functionality is still lacking enough for me.

If I have time, I will try to see if I can write the generator although I haven't touched much about Python. Thanks for checking in! ;)

Oh neat! But yeah, I understand. For situations where I didn't have router access I set up a DNS server with IP filtering using dnsmasq, I always wanted to replace that with bind, but time... :p. I'm sorry that I don't have the time to do this, but schoolwork keeps you busy ;).

If you run into any issues though just post them and i'll respond when I have the time :)
