deleg

Name

deleg - Implements the DELEG record

Description

deleg implements the DELEG record. See draft-dnsop-deleg for details.

Syntax

For each Server Block, create a deleg block with the list of zones it handles and the responses to add for those delegations:

deleg zone1 zone2 {
    responses "example.org. 3600 IN TXT some text"
}

deleg zone3 {
  responses "example.org. 3600 IN TXT zone3 text"
}

NOTE: the owner of the deleg response will be overridden. This syntax is currently used for its simplcity.

Examples

In this example, we will serve the root zone and add records for the com and org delegations.

First, get a copy of the root zone:

dig axfr . @xfr.dns.icann.org > rootzone

set your Corefile as below

. {
  file rootzone
  deleg com org  {
    responses "example.org. 3600 IN TXT \"this is an example\"" "example.com. 3600 IN TXT this is an another example"
  }
  deleg net {
    responses "example.org.  86400  IN DELEG  1 ns1.example.com. ( ipv4hint=192.0.2.1 ipv6hint=2001:DB8::1 )"
  }
}

Start coredns:

./coredns -conf Corefile -dns.port 1053

and test:

dig @corednsserverip -p 1053 foo.org foo.net +noall +auth

Enabling the plugin

Add the deleg to the list of CoreDNS plugin, right after dnssec:

diff --git a/plugin.cfg b/plugin.cfg
index 532c3dda5..d400b99f4 100644
