Add middleware/erratic (#471)
This middleware allows playing with responses. Only one type is implemented: it allows you to drop queries. I.e. withhold the response from the client.

# erratic
|
||||
|
||||
*erratic* is a middleware useful for testing client behavior. It returns a static response to all
|
||||
queries, but the responses can be delayed by a random amount of time or dropped all together, i.e.
|
||||
no answer at all.
|
||||
|
||||
~~~ txt
|
||||
._<transport>.qname. 0 IN SRV 0 0 <port> .
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The *erratic* middleware will respond to every A or AAAA query. For any other type it will return
|
||||
a SERVFAIL response. The reply for A will return 192.0.2.53 (see RFC 5737), for AAAA it returns
|
||||
2001:DB8::53 (see RFC 3849).
|
||||
|
||||
## Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
~~~ txt
|
||||
erratic {
|
||||
drop AMOUNT
|
||||
}
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
* **AMOUNT** drop 1 per **AMOUNT** of the queries, the default is 2.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
~~~ txt
|
||||
.:53 {
|
||||
erratic {
|
||||
drop 3
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Or even shorter if the defaults suits you:
|
||||
|
||||
~~~ txt
|
||||
. {
|
||||
erratic
|
||||
}
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
## Bugs
|
||||
|
||||
Delaying answers is not implemented.
