Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns/issues/1641

Does exist any documentation of the config file for the named binary?
I have only find this example config. But this config does not include features like dot or doh server, cache size or log level.

This is a great question. I really think we need to start a “book” that describes all of these things. I started a while ago, but never finished.

in any case, there are test configs for DoT and DoH that live alongside the example config file you linked to.

DoT
DoH

Do those help?

[DoT](https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/blob/main/tests/test-data/named_test_configs/dns_over_tls.toml) [DoH](https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/blob/main/tests/test-data/named_test_configs/dns_over_https.toml) Do those help?

Thanks for the fast answer.

I have checkout the provided example. The only different I see is the tls_cert = line.
How can trust-dns recolonize if it should use dot or doh?

Sadly I notify that trust-dns does not support my EC key. see https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/issues/1642

Did I miss a link somewhere or there is still no documentation yet ?

There is still no documentation unfortunately. The closest you can get is reading the documentation for hickory_dns::Config.
