I'm searching for DNS Server written in Pascal, does anyone know of
any?

I have a PHP based version running in a windows command shell, so
maybe I could reverse engineer it to Pascal..

I also noticed and indy based component on the tool palette
TidDNSServer? but don't know of any example projects that use it,..?

None that I know of. The protocol is rather simple (the
query/response, not getting data from upstream, I haven't learned that
one), even from a ground up rewrite should be easily possible.
Question is, what do you do that for? There are a bunch of DNS servers
already.

Indy (which is available in Lazarus's OPM) has a TIdDNSServer
component.

Sadly, there is no documentation explaining, or examples showing, how
to use TIdDNSServer, so you will have to reverse-engineer it a little
to figure out which data to provide in which events, etc.

Whether an example of using TIdDNSServer can be found.

As I said a year ago, there are no examples showing how to use
TIdDNSServer.

I notice that requests for examples for TIdDNSServer have been ongoing
for 14 years!
