Description
erratic returns a static response to all queries, but the responses can be delayed, dropped or truncated. The erratic plugin will respond to every A or AAAA query. For any other type it will return a SERVFAIL response (except AXFR). The reply for A will return 192.0.2.53 (RFC 5737), for AAAA it returns 2001:DB8::53 (RFC 3849). For an AXFR request it will respond with a small zone transfer.
Syntax
erratic {
drop [AMOUNT]

In case of a zone transfer and truncate the final SOA record isn’t added to the response.

Delay 1 in 3 and truncate 1 in 5.
