# file `file` enabled reading zone data from a RFC-1035 styled file. The etcd middleware makes extensive use of the proxy middleware to forward and query other servers in the network. ## Syntax ~~~ file dbfile [zones...] ~~~ * `dbfile` the database file to read and parse. * `zones` zones it should be authoritative for. If empty the zones from the configuration block are used. If you want to `round robin` A and AAAA responses look at the `loadbalance` middleware. ~~~ file { db masters [...masters...] } ~~~ * `path` /skydns * `endpoint` endpoints... * `stubzones` ## Examples dnssec { file blaat, transparant allow already signed responses ksk bliep.dsdsk }
