Title: Unbound DNS CNAMEs are gone
Post by: Siggi on August 04, 2022, 03:56:45 PM
Hello community,

I've upgraded to 22.7 today. Everything's fine so far except CNAME in Unbound. They are simply gone in Web UI.
I can't see CNAME records or add new ones. However clients can resolve CNAME records created before the upgrade.
Is this a bug or intentionally?

thanks

I'm confused.

There was one single experiment with Unbound CNAME support but it was concluded that Unbound support for CNAME doesn't really work and it was never shipped. The simple reason is: Unbound is not an authoritative server.

So what are you referring to?


Cheers,

I'm sure I had the option to set CNAMEs in Unbound in OPNSense. Although they are not visible in the web UI anymore the server answers to requests for this CNAMEs correctly.

Can you tell me if there's a config file or a database where I can do a lookup for this entries?

Nevertheless I have to use A-Records again.....

Unbound cannot do A-Records, either. There's the "host overrides" and the "domain overrides" but that's it. Unbound doesn't know (much) about zones ...

Maybe you had a custom config in there at some point, but that has been subsequently replaced by non config.xml approaches, see release notes and documentation.

ok then and thanks for the info. I will check out bind in OPNSense and maybe migrate.
