> coLunacyDNS, which allows a DNS server to use Lua scripting; this didn’t exist until the COVID pandemic

Why would a DNS server use Lua scripting? Is this for dynamically responding to requests rather than doing a pure lookup?

It’s useful for things like 10.1.2.3.ip4.internal style queries, or having a DNS server that always returns a given IP for any query given to it.
