# chaos

The *chaos* middleware allows CoreDNS to respond to TXT queries in the CH class.
This is useful for retrieving version or author information from the server.

## Syntax

~~~
chaos [VERSION] [AUTHORS...]
~~~

* **VERSION** is the version to return. Defaults to `CoreDNS-<version>`, if not set.
* **AUTHORS** is what authors to return. No default.

Note that you have to make sure that this middleware will get actual queries for the
following zones: `version.bind`, `version.server`, `authors.bind`, `hostname.bind` and
`id.server`.

## Examples

~~~
chaos CoreDNS-001 "Miek Gieben" miek@miek.nl
