If you didn’t know, HypeDNS is an application written in Perl that resolves .hype domains to Hyperboria nodes. What I want to know is how is resolves these custom .hype domains as well as resolving the standard ones too (.com, .net, .org etc.)

    The server first looks for names stored in the NodeInfo database, and
    if found, returns the address (or name if reversing!) post haste! If
    the domain is not found, or it is a request for an A record (IPv4),
    the query is forwarded on to ns03.mg2.org, or ns04.mg2.org, Mikey´s
    local name servers.

    Turns out that HypeDNS forwards DNS requests, meaning if it can’t resolve the query, it will forward it to other servers and then return their response.
