## Description
|
|
|
|
*erratic* returns a static response to all queries, but the responses can be delayed, dropped or truncated.
|
|
The *erratic* plugin will respond to every A or AAAA query. For any other type it will return
|
|
a SERVFAIL response. The reply for A will return 192.0.2.53 (see [RFC
|
|
5737](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5737),
|
|
for AAAA it returns 2001:DB8::53 (see [RFC 3849](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3849)) and for an
|
|
AXFR request it will respond with a small zone transfer.
|
|
|
|
*erratic* can also be used in conjunction with the *autopath* plugin. This is mostly to aid in
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
~~~ txt
|
|
erratic {
|
|
drop [AMOUNT]
|
|
truncate [AMOUNT]
|
|
delay [AMOUNT [DURATION]]
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
* `drop`: drop 1 per **AMOUNT** of queries, the default is 2.
|
|
* `truncate`: truncate 1 per **AMOUNT** of queries, the default is 2.
|
|
* `delay`: delay 1 per **AMOUNT** of queries for **DURATION**, the default for **AMOUNT** is 2 and
|
|
the default for **DURATION** is 100ms.
|
|
|
|
In case of a zone transfer and truncate the final SOA record *isn't* added to the response.
|
|
|
|
## Health
|
|
|
|
This plugin implements dynamic health checking. For every dropped query it turns unhealthy.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
~~~ corefile
|
|
. {
|
|
erratic {
|
|
drop 3
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Or even shorter if the defaults suits you. Note this only drops queries, it does not delay them.
|
|
|
|
~~~ corefile
|
|
. {
|
|
erratic
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Delay 1 in 3 queries for 50ms
|
|
|
|
~~~ corefile
|
|
. {
|
|
erratic {
|
|
delay 3 50ms
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Delay 1 in 3 and truncate 1 in 5.
|
|
|
|
~~~ corefile
|
|
. {
|
|
erratic {
|
|
delay 3 5ms
|
|
truncate 5
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Drop every second query.
|
|
|
|
~~~ corefile
|
|
. {
|
|
erratic {
|
|
drop 2
|
|
truncate 2
|
|
}
|
|
}
