+# minimal
+
+## Name
+
+*minimal* - minimizes size of the DNS response message whenever possible.
+
+## Description
+
+The *minimal* plugin tries to minimize the size of the response. Depending on the response type it 
+removes resource records from the AUTHORITY and ADDITIONAL sections.
+
+Specifically this plugin looks at successful responses (this excludes negative responses, i.e.
+nodata or name error). If the successful response isn't a delegation only the RRs in the answer
+section are written to the client.
+
+## Syntax
+
+~~~ txt
+minimal
+~~~
+
+## Examples
+
+Enable minimal responses:
+
+~~~ corefile
+example.org {
+    whoami
+    forward . 8.8.8.8
+    minimal
+}
+~~~
