Miek Gieben d1f17fa7e0 Cleanup: put middleware helper functions in pkgs (#245)
Move all (almost all) Go files in middleware into their
own packages. This makes for better naming and discoverability.

Lot of changes elsewhere to make this change.

The middleware.State was renamed to request.Request which is better,
but still does not cover all use-cases. It was also moved out middleware
because it is used by `dnsserver` as well.

A pkg/dnsutil packages was added for shared, handy, dns util functions.

All normalize functions are now put in normalize.go

file

file enables serving zone data from an RFC 1035-style master file.

The file middleware is used for an "old-style" DNS server. It serves from a preloaded file that exists on disk. If the zone file contains signatures (i.e. is signed, i.e. DNSSEC) correct DNSSEC answers are returned. Only NSEC is supported! If you use this setup you are responsible for resigning the zonefile.

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.

TSIG key configuration is TODO; directive format for transfer will probably be extended with TSIG key information, something like transfer out [address...] key [name] [base64]

file dbfile [zones... ] {
    transfer from [address...]
    transfer to [address...]
    no_reload
}
  • transfer enables zone transfers. It may be specified multiples times. To or from signals the direction. Addresses must be denoted in CIDR notation (127.0.0.1/32 etc.) or just as plain addresses. The special wildcard "*" means: the entire internet (only valid for 'transfer to').
  • no_reload by default CoreDNS will reload a zone from disk whenever it detects a change to the file. This option disables that behavior.

Examples

Load the miek.nl zone from miek.nl.signed and allow transfers to the internet.

file miek.nl.signed miek.nl {
    transfer to *
}
