## Description
The file plugin is used for an "old-style" DNS server. It serves from a preloaded file that exists
on disk. If the zone file contains signatures (i.e. is signed, i.e. DNSSEC) correct DNSSEC answers
are returned. Only NSEC is supported! If you use this setup *you* are responsible for resigning the
on disk. If the zone file contains signatures (i.e., is signed using DNSSEC), correct DNSSEC answers
are returned. Only NSEC is supported! If you use this setup *you* are responsible for re-signing the
zonefile.

* **DBFILE** the database file to read and parse. If the path is relative, the path from the *root*

* **ZONES** zones it should be authoritative for. If empty, the zones from the configuration block
are used.
If you want to round robin A and AAAA responses look at the *loadbalance* plugin.

* `reload` interval to perform reload of zone if SOA version changes. Default is one minute.
Value of `0` means to not scan for changes and reload. eg. `30s` checks zonefile every 30 seconds
and reloads zone when serial changes.

* `no_reload` deprecated. Sets reload to 0.
