tool to query most direct authoritative nameserver

ddrill tries to query the most direct authoritative nameserver, by-passing any recursive caching resolvers that might prevent you from seeing a recently update record.

From the README:

When querying a record like `foo.bar.example.com` `ddrill` will query the FQDN
`foo.bar.example.com` for `NS` records.

If it finds them it will query those nameservers for the record directly.

If it does not, it shortens the FQDN to `bar.example.com` and tries again,
working up the chain until it (hopefully) finds a nameserver to use.

I wrote this to scratch a particular sysadmin itch. Also, my first Codeberg repo.
