I would like that TSDNS is implemented as a external server, so it is independent of teamspeak.
The server is included in the teamspeak-server archiv under tsdns. It's just a binary file with tsdns_settings.ini.sample-file as configuration. That file is needed to copy to tsdns_Settings.ini.

I have repacked and uploaded you just the directory where its included.
In 32-Bit directory:
tsdns.zip
Virustotal:
https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/a6865310c76daad0d14d4b5e3e8f5cf864e5e8d94ec723b0a5a147201661d336/analysis/1536681923/
In 64-Bit directory:
tsdns.zip

The only difference, I find, is that the binary in the x86-dir is a bit bigger(about 10kb)

Or maybe you want to download yourself the current server.

I also found a german guide, but letting you his scripts here, so you can understand how tsdns works.

Fully supported on Linux

For updating and installing I found only one possible way.
Check TeamSpeak version. Download the current. extract, maybe only tsdns-folder -> config doesn't get overwritten cause there is only an ini.example which must be renamed to ini on install.
Don't know if it still recieves updates.
Latest entry from changelog with tsdns mentions:
=== Server Release 3.0.13.6 9 november 2016

TSDNS server now also listens on ipv6 when available

TSDNS server Documentation updated

EDIT:
I should also mention that the config is taken from your current directory and not from the binary directory.

Commandline parameter:

./tsdnsserver --h
Usage: "./tsdnsserver [port]" or "./tsdnsserver --update"
