Log:
  Deprecate this port with an expiration date the 01/01/2018
  
  Dualserver is a badly done piece of software hard to patch and maintain,
  offering less features than its competitors (eg. dnsmasq), and suffering
  from design flaws. Since upgrading to the latest version is a useless task
  I thik we should consider its deprecation.
  
  Please consider to move to dns/dnsmasq.
