\fIwhoami\fP - returns your resolver's local IP address, port and transport.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
The \fIwhoami\fP plugin is not really that useful, but can be used for having a simple (fast) endpoint
 | 
						|
to test clients against. When \fIwhoami\fP returns a response it will have your client's IP address in
 | 
						|
the additional section as either an A or AAAA record.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
The reply always has an empty answer section. The port and transport are included in the additional
 | 
						|
section as a SRV record, transport can be "tcp" or "udp".
 | 
						|

						|

The \fIwhoami\fP plugin will respond to every A or AAAA query, regardless of the query name.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
If CoreDNS can't find a Corefile on startup this is the \fIdefault\fP plugin that gets loaded. As such
 | 
						|
it can be used to check that CoreDNS is responding to queries. Other than that this plugin is of
 | 
						|
limited use in production.
