COREDNS-NSID(7)			CoreDNS	Plugins		       COREDNS-NSID(7)

NAME
       nsid - adds an identifier of this server	to each	reply.

DESCRIPTION
       This  plugin  implements	RFC 5001 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5001>
       and adds	an EDNS0 OPT resource record to	replies	that uniquely identify
       the server. This	is useful in anycast setups to see  which  server  was
       responsible for generating the reply and	for debugging.

       This plugin can only be used once per Server Block.

SYNTAX
	      nsid [DATA]

       DATA is the string to use in the	nsid record.

       If DATA is not given, the host's	name is	used.

EXAMPLES
       Enable nsid:

	      example.org {
		  whoami
		  nsid Use The Force
	      }

       And now a client	with NSID support will see an OPT record with the NSID
       option:

	      %	dig +nsid @localhost a whoami.example.org

	      ;; Got answer:
	      ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 46880
	      ;; flags:	qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 3

	      ....

	      ;	OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
	      ;	EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096
	      ;	NSID: 55 73 65 20 54 68	65 20 46 6f 72 63 65 ("Use The Force")
	      ;; QUESTION SECTION:
	      ;whoami.example.org.	  IN	A
