CoreDNS Dogfood

Reading this means CoreDNS has done its job!

…And CoreDNS is live:

% dig @linode.atoom.net TXT CH version.bind +short
"CoreDNS"

This is quite nice, because it allows me test it properly with 3rd party tools, like zonemaster. That turned up one issue with EDNS which needs fixing. It would also be nice to have an automatic update and reloading of zones (after a signal).

The EDNS stuff will be fixed real soon (TM). The other stuff is less important. I will now also focus on performance, testing and fixing issue with the current set of middleware. (Although super awesome middleware is welcome!)

I need to test AXFR and how it responds to notify, and yes this will get some proper *_test.go files in the near future, but for know I just need to know if it works just this once (TM). For this I need to transfer a zone and need to have a proper primary setup so that I can send notifies that CoreDNS will respond to.

So I ended up with the following Corefile, where 176.58.119.54 is the real primary, 127.0.0.1 is a fake one which allows me to send notifies with kdig.
