• Create a background worker that will discover the public ip of the local running indexer
• Sign a message with the private key
• Update the blokcore-dns server with such entries

blockcore-dns

• this is a console app
• uses the nuget https://github.com/kapetan/dns
• self host api

blockcore-dns-agent

• library app
• will be published as nuget package

An example of the appsettings.json config file section for the dns project

{
   "blockcore-dns": {
      "RefreshIntervalMin": 5,
      "Domains": [
         {
            "ValidationKey": "XYZ",
            "ProjectType": "Indexer",
         },
         {
            "ValidationKey": "XYZ",
            "ProjectType": "Vault",
         }
      ]
   }
}

A background thread to check that an indexer is still up an running

An example of how a json response could look

{
   "ServerLocations": [
      {
         "Location": "1.2.3.4:9010",
         "ProjectType": "Indexer"
      },
      {
         "Location": "1.1.1.1:443",
         "ProjectType": "Indexer"
      },
      {
         "Location": "1.1.1.1:5555",
         "ProjectType": "Vault"
      }
   ]
}

This will allow some functionality similar to p2p

To not allow a DID of a certain domain source to modify domains of other sources.

For example this case a DID abc1 can modify th IP address of all domains and subdomains for web1.com and web2.com but not of web3.com

{
Identity = did:is:abc2
Domains = [web1.com, web3.com]
},
{
Identity = did:is:abc1
Domains = [web3.com]
}

Right now the host will only specify the domain
We should also change it to use the communication method (http:// or https://)

This

 "DnsAgent": {
    "Hosts": [
      {
        "DnsHost": "ns.coinvault.io:7010",

Needs to change to this

 "DnsAgent": {
    "Hosts": [
      {
        "DnsHost": "http://ns.coinvault.io:7010",

The dns server need to be able to respond to AAAA record lookups

An example of the appsettings.json config file section for the agent poject

{
   "Agent": {
      "RefreshIntervalMin": 5,
      "SigningKey": "XYZ",
      "Domains": [
         {
            "Blockcore-dns-api": "indexer.blockco.net",
            "ProjectType": "Indexer",
            "Port": "9010"
         },
         {
            "Blockcore-dns-api": "vault.blockco.net",
            "ProjectType": "Vault",
            "Port": "9020"
         }
      ]
   }
}

Ideally we could reuse a dns server to support multiple features however we need to check if support for filtering dns lookups by types is available. If using DoH (dns over https) this is probably more viable to ption
