my .conf file is working after leaving it alone overnight.... strange

Or do I need to create a .conf file?

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/unbound.html

I tried this by creating a plex.conf and placing in the correct folder.
Restarted Unbound
No success

I'm confused...

Same...
as per: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/unbound.html#advanced-configurations

I've done the same for both plex.direct and a personal domain hosted on external nameservers that resolve to internal IP's.. can confirm my custom.conf file placed in /usr/local/etc/unbound.opnsense.d/ appears to be ignored.. restart unbound, custom.conf file is copied over to /var/unbound/etc/ but does not do anything.
nslookup returns the authoratitive nameservers, but no IP. :/
