COREDNS-WHOAMI(7) CoreDNS Plugins COREDNS-WHOAMI(7) NAME whoami - returns your resolver's local IP address, port and transport. DESCRIPTION The whoami plugin is not really that useful, but can be used for having a simple (fast) endpoint to test clients against. When whoami returns a response it will have your client's IP address in the additional sec- tion as either an A or AAAA record. The reply always has an empty answer section. The port and transport are included in the additional section as a SRV record, transport can be "tcp" or "udp". ._<transport>.qname. 0 IN SRV 0 0 <port> . The whoami plugin will respond to every A or AAAA query, regardless of the query name. If CoreDNS can't find a Corefile on startup this is the default plugin that gets loaded. As such it can be used to check that CoreDNS is re- sponding to queries. Other than that this plugin is of limited use in production. SYNTAX whoami EXAMPLES Start a server on the default port and load the whoami plugin. example.org { whoami } When queried for "example.org A", CoreDNS will respond with: ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;example.org. IN A ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: example.org. 0 IN A 10.240.0.1 _udp.example.org. 0 IN SRV 0 0 40212 SEE ALSO Read the blog post <https://coredns.io/2017/03/01/how-to-add-plugins- to-coredns/> on how this plugin is built, or explore the source code <https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin/whoami/>.
