GDNSD-PLUGIN-NULL(8)		      gdnsd		    GDNSD-PLUGIN-NULL(8)

NAME
     gdnsd-plugin-null - gdnsd null plugin

SYNOPSIS
     Example null service_types config:

       service_types => {
	 my_null_mon => {
	   plugin => null,
	   # ... other generic service_type params
	 }
       }

     Zonefile RRs using null resolution

       foo 300 DYNA null
       bar 300 DYNC null!whatever

DESCRIPTION
     gdnsd-plugin-null exists mostly as an example of the minimum possible plu-
     gin of both types.  It is simultaneously both a monitoring plugin and a
     resolution plugin.

     When used as a resolution plugin in "DNYA" or "DYNC" RRs, it ignores any
     resource name provided.  It always returns the IPv4 address 0.0.0.0 and the
     IPv6 address "::".

     When used as a monitoring plugin by defining a service_type as shown in the
     example above it emulates the behavior of a real monitoring plugin (updat-
     ing at correct intervals, etc) but sends a "DOWN" result at every monitor-
     ing check interval without actually checking anything.
