This is a legitimate feature request.  I'll look in to implementing it
if I can get a sponsor to help me for a small fee.

This I can explain.  A few years ago, someone wanted to have inetd
support for zoneserver, so I implemented it.  It made the code much
more messy, but I was a younger and more naive (or, perhaps, less
cynical) programmer and implemented it.  People didn't seem very
interested in it, so I removed support for it between then 1.0 and 1.2
release, since I wanted to add other features to zoneserver, such as
csv2 support and generic DNS-over-TCP support.

The obsolete 1.0 release of MaraDNS should still support this, but you
won't get csv2 support nor DNS-over-TCP:

IP logging should be easy (and I'll welcome either a small amount of
money to sponsor me implementing it or a patch that implements it);
restoring inetd support should also be possible, but will take a much
bigger patch or a somewhat larger but still small amount of money for
me to implement.

Note: If you send me a MaraDNS-related support question, and are
unwilling to compensate me for my time, I will probably not answer
your question (giving you one of my form replies instead), and reserve
the right to post your support email to the Mara-DNS mailing list so
that the community at large can examine your issue. MaraDNS security
vulnerability reports, however, will be dealt with and kept
confidential.
