For a while now, the "zoneserver" DNS-over-TCP daemon would compile in Windows (as long as Cygwin was installed), but would not run.
I have fixed this bug. It's now possible to have DNS-over-TCP using MaraDNS in Windows.
The patch can be downloaded here:

- Get Cygwin. Be sure to have the gcc compiler.
- Download the latest MaraDNS snapshot (see link above).
- Compile it in Cygwin.
- Read this documentation:

Last November, an anonymous user requested to have DNS-over-TCP in the Windows MaraDNS port. Nearly six months later, I finally got this to work.
Unless a security hole is found, updates to MaraDNS are pretty slow. Since I have a six-month-old daughter, and since I am not getting paid to write this code, I have to put MaraDNS on the back burner.
My rough roadmap is to update the random prime generator in Windows. There currently exists a patch by Tobias Frost to give Deadwood a random prime number for its hash compression code. I will probably eventually update this code so that, in Windows, it will use CryptGenRandom() instead of random(), which will give the random prime number guaranteed strong entropy.
