Redirect Plugin

redirect rewrites query names from one domain to another (supports wildcard patterns).

Args / Rules

• Provide a rules array in config. Each rule can be a string "from to" or a mapping with from and to keys.

Example:

plugins:
  - type: redirect
    args:
      rules:
        - "example.com example.net"

Behavior

• Performs case-insensitive matching. Supports *.old.com -> *.new.com wildcard replacements.
• Rewrites the question name in-place so downstream plugins see the new qname.

When to use

• Useful for domain migrations, testing, or temporary redirect rules without changing client queries.
• Combine with other plugins (e.g., hosts, forwarder) to control resolution of redirected names.
