coredns-redis uses redis as a backend for coredns
this plugin should be located right next to etcd in plugins.cfg:

redis:github.com/rverst/coredns-redis/plugin
loop:loop
forward:forward
grpc:grpc

configuration

{
  redis {
    address HOST:PORT
    username USER
    password PASSWORD
    connect_timeout TIME_MS
    read_timeout TIME_MS
    ttl TIME_S
    prefix PREFIX
    suffix SUFFIX
  }
}

• address is the address of the redis backend in form of host:port (defaults to localhost:6379)
• username is the username for connectiong to the redis backend (optional)
• password is the redis password (optional)
• connect_timeout maximum time to establish a connection to the redis backend (in ms, optional)
• read_timeout maximum time to wait for the redis backend to respond (in ms, optional)
• ttl default ttl for dns records which have no ttl set (in seconds, default 3600)
• prefix a prefix added to all redis keys
• suffix a suffix added to all redis keys

example

corefile:

{
  .{
    redis {
      address localhost:6379
      username redis_user
      password super_secret
      connect_timeout 2000
      read_timeout 2000
      ttl 300
      prefix DNS_
      suffix _DNS
    }
  }
}

API

Package redis provides functions to manipulate (get, add, edit, delete) the data in the redis backend. The DNS zones are saved as hashmaps with the zone-name as key in the backend. While the data format is JSON at the moment, but I am considering switching to protobuf for performance reasons later.
