CoreDNS is DNS server that started as a fork of [Caddy](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/). It has the
same model: it chains middleware.
Currently CoreDNS is able to:
* Serve zone data from a file, both DNSSEC (NSEC only) and DNS is supported (middleware/file).
* Retrieve zone data from primaries, i.e. act as a secondary server (middleware/file).
* Loadbalancing of responses (middleware/loadbalance).
* Allow for zone transfers, i.e. act as a primary server (middleware/file).
* Caching (middleware/cache).
* Use etcd as a backend, i.e. a 98.5% replacement for
[SkyDNS](https://github.com/skynetservices/skydns) (middleware/etcd).
* Serve as a proxy to forward queries to some other (recursive) nameserver (middleware/proxy).
* Rewrite queries (both qtype, qclass and qname) (middleware/rewrite).
* Provide metrics (by using Prometheus) (middleware/metrics).
* Provide Logging (middleware/log).
* Has support for the CH class: `version.bind` and friends (middleware/chaos).
## Status
I'm using CoreDNS is my primary, authoritative, nameserver for my domains (`miek.nl`, `atoom.net`
and a few others). CoreDNS should be stable enough to provide you with a good DNS service.

There are still few [issues](https://github.com/miekg/coredns/issues), and work is ongoing on making
things fast and reduce the memory usage.
