My minimal CoreDNS config

I am using the following minimal CoreDNS config, savd as Corefile. This applies a one hour cache to all requests before forwarding the to the Google DNS servers. All requests are logged to stdout. In my setup this saves me about 20ms for every DNS roundtrip and improves my internet speed by quite a bit.

    cache 3600
    forward . 8.8.8.8:53 8.8.4.4:53
    log
}
