Could you build this?

Partial Writing a basic DNS forwarder or proxy is achievable with AI assistance, but high-performance DNS handling with DNSSEC, DoH/DoT, and caching requires deep networking and protocol expertise.

What it would actually take: A production DNS server or resolver requires Rust or Go leveraging standard asynchronous UDP/TCP network sockets (or libraries like `trust-dns` / `miekg/dns`). The hard parts involve resilient caching algorithms, cache invalidation, DNSSEC cryptographic validation, EDNS client subnet handling, and low-latency concurrent query multiplexing. Building a secure, production-grade resolver demands solid knowledge of RFC-compliant DNS edge cases.
