Rexerver

===========

A DNS MAnager Built from scratch in Golang using the microservices design pattern, it consists of 6 services

• DNS Resolver (with an optional forwarder fallback)
• RESTful API (to make it easy to manage the entries)
• Hosts File(s) compatible service, so you can provide hosts file to it and it will resolve host names from it.
• Caching layer, to low the I/O usage.
• Dashboard using laravel (a PHP framework)
• Nginx for service the dashboard.

Go to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/rexerver, change the value of listen from 8080 to anything else, THEN execute the following command service nginx restart.
