+# LuaDNS Vlang Module
+
+## Overview
+This module provides functionality to parse and manage DNS configurations from Lua scripts. It supports creating, updating, and validating DNS records for multiple domains.
+
+## Features
+- Parse Lua DNS configuration files.
+- Manage DNS records for multiple domains.
+- Validate IP addresses and domain names.
+- Automatically add default CNAME and CAA records.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Load DNS Configurations
+Load DNS configurations from a git repository.
+```v
+import luadns
+
+// Load configurations from a git URL
+dns := luadns.load('https://git.example.com/repo.git')!
+```
+
+### Set Domain
+Add or update an A record for a domain or subdomain.
+```v
+dns.set_domain('example.com', '51.129.54.234')!
+dns.set_domain('auth.example.com', '231.29.54.234')!
+```
+
+### Validate Inputs
+The module ensures that only valid IP addresses and domain names are accepted.

+## remark
+
+This is a slow way how to execute python, is about 2 per second on a fast machine, need to implement something where we keep the python in mem and reading from a queue e.g. redis this will go much faster, but ok for now.
+
+see also examples dir, there is a working example
