Linux – How to do views in Unbound DNS Server

binddomain-name-systemlinuxunbound

How would I use the BIND "views" feature in Unbound? I don't seem to be able to find anything online regarding this.

Unbound doesn't support split-horizon DNS. It's primarily meant as a recursive and caching nameserver, and has only limited support for serving authoritative answers.

You can sort of fake it in some circumstances through its stub zone feature and/or its local-data option, but for the normal scenario you'd use split-horizon DNS for (a network with RFC1918 addresses), Unbound has nothing.

Unbound/nsd returning SERVFAIL resolving local LAN DNS. nsd alone works fine

This line from the log indicates the problem:

Jun 15 06:12:39 pizza.yoderdev.com unbound[1947]: [1947:0] debug: skip addr on the donotquery list ip4 127.0.0.1 port 53530 (len 1

Unbound by default refuses to send any DNS queries to localhost. To enable it to query localhost, set the do-not-query-localhost to no in the server-section of the Unbound configuration:

server:
  interface: 127.0.0.1
  interface: 192.168.1.50
  [...]
  do-not-query-localhost: no

See the documentation for unbound.conf for a description of the option.

Unbound DNS resolver for a network

Check whether you have a firewall running. That would allow the local answers but inbound queries would be dropped.
