Dependencies are old

[dolmen]

From go.mod:

require (
	github.com/miekg/dns v0.0.0-20160605072344-799de7044d95
	github.com/reguero/go-snmplib v0.0.0-20181019092238-e566f5619b55
)

The dependencies have not been updated to recent versions. Is it on purpose?

One explanation about not using latest version of github.com/miekg/dns is given here: #5 (comment)

As matter of fact, we cannot use the latest version of github.com/miekg/dns because we need to support TSIG keys using HmacMD5 until the software supporting the DNS servers at CERN is updated and github.com/miekg/dns has dropped support for it in later versions.

Indeed we are waiting for github.com/miekg/dns.
For github.com/reguero/go-snmplib we need some mods/fixes to go-snmplib that I had done but they have been merged upstream a while ago so I guess that we could point there...

Dependency on github.com/mielg/dns has been upgraded by d891dac. Was it wanted?

[reguero]

Indeed, I understand that v1.0.0 was required for DNS Server support but is is still older than commit 93945c28 - Remove HMAC-MD5 support from TSIG (#1187) (Sat Oct 24 13:57:51 2020)
so it is OK for us.
