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.
