* loop sends an initial query to detect infinite forwarding
loops in configured upstream DNS servers and fast exit with
an error (its a fatal misconfiguration on the network that
will otherwise cause resolvers to consume memory/CPU until
crashing, masking the problem)
* https://github.com/coredns/coredns/tree/master/plugin/loop
* loadbalance randomizes the ordering of A, AAAA, and MX records
in responses to provide round-robin load balancing (as usual,
clients may still cache responses though)
* https://github.com/coredns/coredns/tree/master/plugin/loadbalance
