CoreDNS serves DNS and front-ends cloud DNS (Route53, Google Cloud DNS) over secure APIs/TCP while answering UDP queries, and is now built with Go 1.19+. The demo plugin compiles into the CoreDNS binary, implements three functions (init, setup, ServeDNS), fits in under 100 lines of Go, and returns different IPs based on client source.
