summary
CoreDNS claims production-ready DNSSEC with both on-the-fly signing (sign plugin) and traditional zone signing using dnssec-keygen (example uses ECDSA keys and RRSIG output), handles DNS-over-TLS by forwarding to TLS://8.8.8.8, and manages zone files via a git-backed auto plugin plus get-sync. It demonstrates query manipulation with template and rewrite plugins (example templates synthesize A records like 1.2.3.4), and a firewall+metadata flow that enforces a password via EDNS option 65000:200 — all shown working end-to-end.
