DESCRIPTION

       gdnsd-plugin-reflect is a resolution plugin that acts as a live debugging tool.  It
       reflects a view of the client's network address back in the response in the form of "A" or
       "AAAA" RRs.  It can be used with both "DYNA" and "DYNC" RRs, and will return address data
       in both cases.

       The plugin can operate in one of four modes named "dns", "edns", "both", and "best", which
       can be selected by using the mode name as a resource name in the zonefile, as shown in the
       example above.  The default mode is "best".  The modes operate as follows:

       dns In the "dns" mode, the address in the response is always the source IP address of the
           request as seen by gdnsd.  Note that this is generally the public address of a central
           cache/resolver server rather than the end-user client itself.

       edns
           In the "edns" mode, the address in the response is the address sent by the client in
           the "edns-client-subnet" option.  If the client did not send such an option, the IPv4
           address 0.0.0.0 is returned.

       both
           In the "both" mode, both of the above results are returned in the same response, but
           there is no artificial 0.0.0.0 added if no "edns-client-subnet" option was available.

       best
           In the "best" (default) mode, if the "edns-client-subnet" option was specified its
           data is returned as in the "edns" case, otherwise the source IP address is returned as
           in the "dns" case.
