Hi Gagandeep,

Ondřej is right, it would be helpful if you tell a bit more about the
kind of name server you wish to create.

That said, ldns might be appropriate for small and simple nameservers
that do something peculiar (and are not for production purposes). Within
the examples section of the ldns source code is a simple fake nameserver
tool for testing and debugging: ldns-testns. We use it in unbounds unit
tests and also in experimental setups (for example in our Path MTU
black-holes research). You could study its source to get you started.
