This checks if the next middleware to be called is nil, and if so returns ServerFailure and an error. This makes the next calling more robust and saves some lines of code. Also prefix the error with the name of the middleware to aid in debugging.
loadbalance
loadbalance acts as a round-robin DNS loadbalancer by randomizing the order of A and AAAA records in the answer. See Wikipedia about the pros and cons on this setup.
It will take care to sort any CNAMEs before any address records, because some stub resolver implementations (like glibc) are particular about that.
Syntax
loadbalance [POLICY]
- POLICY is how to balance, the default is "round_robin"
Examples
