NAME

       gdnsd-plugin-null - gdnsd null plugin

SYNOPSIS

       Example null service_types config:

         service_types => {
           my_null_mon => {
             plugin => null,
             # ... other generic service_type params
           }
         }

       Zonefile RRs using null resolution

         foo 300 DYNA null
         bar 300 DYNC null!whatever

DESCRIPTION

       gdnsd-plugin-null exists mostly as an example of the minimum possible plugin of both
       types.  It is simultaneously both a monitoring plugin and a resolution plugin.

       When used as a resolution plugin in "DNYA" or "DYNC" RRs, it ignores any resource name
       provided.  With "DYNA" it always returns the IPv4 address 0.0.0.0 and the IPv6 address
       "::".  With "DYNC" it always returns a CNAME to to the domainname "invalid."

       When used as a monitoring plugin by defining a service_type as shown in the example above
       it emulates the behavior of a real monitoring plugin (updating at correct intervals, etc)
       but sends a "DOWN" result at every monitoring check interval without actually checking
       anything.
