The chaos middleware allows CoreDNS to respond to TXT queries in the CH class. This is useful for retrieving version or author information from the server.

Syntax

chaos [version] [authors...]

version the version to return. Defaults to CoreDNS-, if not set.
authors what authors to return. No default.

Note that you have to make sure that this middleware will get actual queries for the following zones: version.bind, version.server, authors.bind, hostname.bind and id.server.
