COREDNS-CHAOS(7)		 CoreDNS Plugins		COREDNS-CHAOS(7)

NAME
     chaos - allows for responding to TXT queries in the CH class.

DESCRIPTION
     This is useful for retrieving version or author information from the server
     by querying a TXT record for a special domain name in the CH class.

SYNTAX
	    chaos [VERSION] [AUTHORS...]

     *	 VERSION is the version to return. Defaults to CoreDNS-<version>, if not
	 set.

     *	 AUTHORS  is what authors to return. This defaults to all GitHub handles
	 in the OWNERS files.

     Note that you have to make sure that this plugin will  get  actual  queries
     for  the following zones: version.bind, version.server, authors.bind, host-
     name.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"
	    ...
