However in some cases for example where CoreDNS is serving over a slow mobile data connection the default timeouts are not optimal. Additionally some routers hold open connections when using DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS. Allowing a longer idle timeout helps performance and reduces issues with such routers. The timeouts “plugin” allows you to configure CoreDNS server read, write and idle timeouts.
