Add OWNERS file (#1486) 
This should have everyone, but the process was quite manual. The rename
from middleware -> plugin also meant I had to do some extra digging on
who actually submitted the PR. I also double checked the current list of
people with commit access.

Every plugin now has an OWNERS, except *reverse*. I'll file a bug for
that.

loadbalance

Name

loadbalance - acts as a round-robin DNS loadbalancer by randomizing the order of A and AAAA records in the answer.

Description

See Wikipedia about the pros and cons on this setup. It will take care to sort any CNAMEs before any address records, because some stub resolver implementations (like glibc) are particular about that.

Syntax

loadbalance [POLICY]
  • POLICY is how to balance, the default is "round_robin"

Examples

Load balance replies coming back from Google Public DNS:

. {
    loadbalance round_robin
    proxy . 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
}
