# chaos
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Name
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*chaos* - allows for responding to TXT queries in the CH class.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Description
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is useful for retrieving version or author information from the server by querying a TXT record
 | 
						|
for a special domain name in the CH class.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Syntax
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
chaos [VERSION] [AUTHORS...]
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* **VERSION** is the version to return. Defaults to `CoreDNS-<version>`, if not set.
 | 
						|
* **AUTHORS** is what authors to return. This defaults to all GitHub handles in the OWNERS files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that you have to make sure that this plugin will get actual queries for the
 | 
						|
following zones: `version.bind`, `version.server`, `authors.bind`, `hostname.bind` and
 | 
						|
`id.server`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Specify all the zones in full.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~ corefile
 | 
						|
version.bind version.server authors.bind hostname.bind id.server {
 | 
						|
    chaos CoreDNS-001 info@coredns.io
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Or just default to `.`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~ corefile
 | 
						|
.  {
 | 
						|
    chaos CoreDNS-001 info@coredns.io
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
And test with `dig`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~ txt
 | 
						|
% dig @localhost CH TXT version.bind
 | 
						|
...
 | 
						|
;; ANSWER SECTION:
 | 
						|
version.bind.		0	CH	TXT	"CoreDNS-001"
 | 
						|
...
 | 
						|
~~~
