Miek Gieben d8714e64e4 Remove the word middleware (#1067)
* Rename middleware to plugin

first pass; mostly used 'sed', few spots where I manually changed
text.

This still builds a coredns binary.

* fmt error

* Rename AddMiddleware to AddPlugin

* Readd AddMiddleware to remain backwards compat

chaos

The chaos plugin 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 plugin will get actual queries for the following zones: version.bind, version.server, authors.bind, hostname.bind and id.server.

Examples

Specify all the zones in full.

version.bind version.server authors.bind hostname.bind id.server {
    chaos CoreDNS-001 info@coredns.io
}

Or just default to .:

.  {
    chaos CoreDNS-001 info@coredns.io
}

And test with dig:

% dig @localhost CH TXT version.bind
...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
version.bind.		0	CH	TXT	"CoreDNS-001"
