COREDNS-MINIMAL(7)		 CoreDNS Plugins	      COREDNS-MINIMAL(7)

NAME
     minimal - minimizes size of the DNS response message whenever possible.

DESCRIPTION
     The minimal plugin tries to minimize the size of the response. Depending on
     the  response type it removes resource records from the AUTHORITY and ADDI-
     TIONAL sections.

     Specifically this plugin looks at successful responses (this excludes nega-
     tive responses, i.e.  nodata or name error).  If  the  successful	response
     isn't  a  delegation  only the RRs in the answer section are written to the
     client.

SYNTAX
	    minimal

EXAMPLES
     Enable minimal responses:

	    example.org {
		whoami
		forward . 8.8.8.8
		minimal
	    }
