Miek Gieben 36c7aa6437 plugin/{file,auto}: drop fsnotify (#1090)
* plugin/{file,auto}: drop fsnotify

Reload every minute. This is more deterministic then fsnotify. Also
other thing cropped up: sharing zone files between zone; there is only
1 fsnotify event and we need to fan out the reload to all zone files.
This is a large rewrite (which could still be done), for now, poll the
zone file on disk.

Give serial no change a special error type so we can check for this.
Improve the logging for reloading:

2017/09/19 07:34:39 [INFO] Successfully reloaded zone "miek.nl." in "db.miek.nl" with serial 128263060
2017/09/19 07:34:45 [INFO] Successfully reloaded zone "miek.nl." in "db.miek.nl" with serial 128263059
2017/09/19 07:34:51 [INFO] Successfully reloaded zone "miek.nl." in "db.miek.nl" with serial 128263060

# auto
*auto* enables serving zone data from an RFC 1035-style master file which is automatically picked
up from disk.
The *auto* plugin is used for an "old-style" DNS server. It serves from a preloaded file that exists
on disk. If the zone file contains signatures (i.e. is signed, i.e. DNSSEC) correct DNSSEC answers
are returned. Only NSEC is supported! If you use this setup *you* are responsible for resigning the
zonefile. New zones or changed zone are automatically picked up from disk.
## Syntax
~~~
auto [ZONES...] {
directory DIR [REGEXP ORIGIN_TEMPLATE [TIMEOUT]]
no_reload
upstream ADDRESS...
}
~~~
**ZONES** zones it should be authoritative for. If empty, the zones from the configuration block
are used.
* `directory` loads zones from the speficied **DIR**. If a file name matches **REGEXP** it will be
used to extract the origin. **ORIGIN_TEMPLATE** will be used as a template for the origin. Strings
like `{<number>}` are replaced with the respective matches in the file name, i.e. `{1}` is the
first match, `{2}` is the second, etc.. The default is: `db\.(.*) {1}` e.g. from a file with the
name `db.example.com`, the extracted origin will be `example.com`. **TIMEOUT** specifies how often
CoreDNS should scan the directory, the default is every 60 seconds. This value is in seconds.
The minimum value is 1 second.
* `no_reload` by default CoreDNS will try to reload a zone every minute and reloads if the
SOA's serial has changed. This option disables that behavior.
* `upstream` defines upstream resolvers to be used resolve external names found (think CNAMEs)
pointing to external names. **ADDRESS** can be an IP address, and IP:port or a string pointing to
a file that is structured as /etc/resolv.conf.
All directives from the *file* plugin are supported. Note that *auto* will load all zones found,
even though the directive might only receive queries for a specific zone. I.e:
~~~
auto example.org {
directory /etc/coredns/zones
}
~~~
Will happily pick up a zone for `example.COM`, except it will never be queried, because the *auto*
directive only is authoritative for `example.ORG`.
## Examples
Load `org` domains from `/etc/coredns/zones/org` and allow transfers to the internet, but send
notifies to 10.240.1.1
~~~ corefile
. {
auto org {
directory /etc/coredns/zones/org
transfer to *
transfer to 10.240.1.1
}
}
~~~
Load `org` domains from `/etc/coredns/zones/org` and looks for file names as `www.db.example.org`,
where `example.org` is the origin. Scan every 45 seconds.
~~~ corefile
org {
auto {
directory /etc/coredns/zones/org www\.db\.(.*) {1} 45
}
}
