This is a very silly backend which is discussed in Section C.1 as a demonstration on how to write a PowerDNS backend.
This backend knows about only one hostname, and only about its IP address at that. With every query, a new random IP address is generated.
It only makes sense to load the random backend in combination with a regular backend. This can be done by prepending it to the launch= instruction, such as launch=random,gmysql.
Variables:
Hostname for which to supply a random IP address.
