Feedback on CoreDNS?

Hi all,

I recently stumbled upon CoreDNS, a DNS server written in Go and licensed under Apache 2.0, which made it into dns/coredns on 2019/05.
I had never looked beyond BIND before, but now I am, and I find the approach of CoreDNS plugins quite appealing.

Is there anyone using this port, and what are their experiences?

Thanks in advance
 
For home/lab, I use it. Most use is in k8s environments afaik.

I used to use dnscache/tinydns in the 00's - went to powerdns_recursor in the 10s, CoreDNS past few years. CoreDNS is a bit of a memory hog, but, much easier to administer IMHO. I have a PiHole script that loads it up with 1000s of blacklisted IPs though.

Feature-wise what is nice: Block definition of a "look-up stack". Multiple IP/port servicing. Support for secure DNS if that's your thing. I have multiple geographies that connect via wireguard. It was easy to set up subdomain lookup via the coredns instance across wg.
