 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ~~~ | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | chaos [version] [authors...] | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ~~~ | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * `version` the version to return, defaults to CoreDNS. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | * `authors` what authors to return. No default. |

										 |  |  | Note this middleware can only be specified for a zone once. This is because it hijacks | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | the zones `version.bind`, `version.server`, `authors.bind`, `hostname.bind` and | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | `id.server`, which means it can only be routed to one middleware. |
