## Name
|
|
|
|
*local* - respond to local names.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
*local* will respond with a basic reply to a "local request". Local request are defined to be
|
|
names in the following zones: localhost, 0.in-addr.arpa, 127.in-addr.arpa and 255.in-addr.arpa *and*
|
|
any query asking for `localhost.<domain>`. When seeing the latter a metric counter is increased and
|
|
if *debug* is enabled a debug log is emitted.
|
|
|
|
With *local* enabled any query falling under these zones will get a reply. The prevents the query
|
|
from "escaping" to the internet and putting strain on external infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
The zones are mostly empty, only `localhost.` address records (A and AAAA) are defined and a
|
|
`1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.` reverse (PTR) record.
|
|
|

## Syntax

## Metrics
|
|
|
|
If monitoring is enabled (via the *prometheus* plugin) then the following metric is exported:
|
|
|
|
* `coredns_local_localhost_requests_total{}` - a counter of the number of `localhost.<domain>`
|
|
requests CoreDNS has seen. Note this does *not* count `localhost.` queries.
|
|
|
|
Note that this metric *does not* have a `server` label, because it's more interesting to find the
|
|
client(s) performing these queries than to see which server handled it. You'll need to inspect the
|
|
debug log to get the client IP address.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
~~~ corefile
|
|
. {
|
|
local
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
## Bugs
|
|
|
|
Only the `in-addr.arpa.` reverse zone is implemented, `ip6.arpa.` queries are not intercepted.
|
|
|
|
## See Also
|
|
|
|
BIND9's configuration in Debian comes with these zones preconfigured. See the *debug* plugin for
|
|
enabling debug logging.
