Configuration file

See file config.dist.yml for a full example of a YAML configuration file with comments.

`dns`

The dns object configures the behavior of the DNS server. It has the following properties:

`cache`

The cache object configures caching the results of querying DNS. It has the following properties:

enabled: Whether or not the DNS results should be cached.
Example: true
size: The maximum size of the DNS result cache as human-readable data size. It must be greater than zero if enabled is true.
Example: 128 MB
client_size: The maximum size of the DNS result cache for each configured client’s address or subnetwork as human-readable data size. It must be greater than zero if enabled is true.
Example: 4 MB

`server`

The server object configures the handling of incoming requests. It has the following properties:

listen_addresses: The set of addresses with ports to listen on.

Property example:

'listen_addresses':
    - address: '127.0.0.1:53'
    - address: '[::1]:53'

`bootstrap`

The bootstrap object configures the resolution of upstream server addresses. It has the following properties:

servers: The list of servers to resolve the hostnames of upstream servers.
Property example:
```
'servers':
    - address: '8.8.8.8:53'
    - address: '192.168.1.1:53'
```
timeout: The timeout for bootstrap DNS requests as a human-readable duration.
Example: 2 s

`upstream`

The upstream object configures the actual resolving of requests. It has the following properties:

groups: The set of upstream servers keyed by the group’s name. It has the following fields:
- address: The upstream server’s address.
  Example: '8.8.8.8:53'
- match: The list of criteria to match the request against. Each entry may contain the following properties:
  - question_domain: The domain or a suffix of the domain that the set of upstream servers should be used to resolve.
    Example: 'mycompany.local'
  - client: The client’s address or a subnet of the client’s address from which the set of upstream servers should resolve requests. It must have no significant bits outside the subnet mask.
    Example: '192.0.2.0/24'
  note
  Properties specified within a single entry are combined with a logical AND. Entries are combined with a logical OR.
  Property example:
```
'match':
    - question_domain: 'mycompany.local'
    client: '192.168.1.0/24'
    - question_domain: 'mycompany.external'
    - client: '1.2.3.4'
```
info
groups should contain at least a single entry named default, and optionally a single entry named private, both should have no match property.
The default group will be used when there are no matches among other groups. The private group will be used to resolve the PTR requests for the private IP addresses. Such queries will be answered with NXDOMAIN if no private group is defined.
timeout: The timeout for upstream DNS requests as a human-readable duration.
Example: 2s

`fallback`

The fallback object configures the behavior of the DNS server in case of failure. It has the following properties:

servers: The list of servers to use after the actual upstream failed to respond.
Property example:
```
'servers':
    - address: 'tls://94.140.14.140'
```
timeout: The timeout for fallback DNS requests as a human-readable duration.
Example: 2s

`debug`

The debug object configures the debugging features. It has the following properties:

`pprof`

The pprof object configures the pprof HTTP handlers. It has the following properties:

port: The port to listen on for debug HTTP requests on localhost.
Example: 6060
enabled: Whether or not the debug profiling is enabled.
Example: true

`log`

The log object configures the logging. It has the following properties:

output: The output to which logs are written.
note
Log entries written to the system log are in text format (see below) and use the system timestamp.
Possible values:
- syslog means that the platform-specific system log is used, which is syslog for Linux and Event Log for Windows.
- stdout for standard output stream.
- stderr for standard error stream.
- Absolute path to the log file.
Example: /home/user/logs
Example: C:\Users\user\logs.txt
Example: syslog

format: Specifies the format of the log entries.

Possible values:

default: A simple format. 例如：

INFO service started prefix=program addr=127.0.0.1:53

json: A structured JSON format. 例如：

{"level":"INFO","msg":"service started","prefix":"program","addr":"127.0.0.1:53"}

jsonhybrid: Same as json but with a limited number of fields. 例如：

{"level":"INFO","msg":"service started, attrs: prefix=program addr=127.0.0.1:53"}

text: A structured text format. 例如：

level=INFO msg="service started" prefix=program addr=127.0.0.1:53

Example: default

timestamp: Specifies whether to include a timestamp in the log entries.
Example: false
verbose: Specifies whether the log should be more informative.
Example: false
