Unbound - non-authoritative answer for local-zone

[hunter86_bg]

Hi All,

based on the man of unbound.conf , the "Answers for local zones  are  authoritative  DNS answers."
Yet, I got the following:

Code Select Expand

# dig engine.localdomain

; <<>> DiG 9.11.4-P2-RedHat-9.11.4-26.P2.el7_9.5 <<>> engine.localdomain
;; global options: +cmd

;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 63



The machine has static dhcp entry and as per host_entries.conf I got the following:

Code Select Expand

root@opnsense:/var/unbound # grep -E 'local-zone|engine' host_entries.conf
local-zone: "localdomain" transparent
local-data-ptr: "192.168.1.2 engine.localdomain"
local-data: "engine.localdomain IN A 192.168.1.2"
root@opnsense:/var/unbound #

The whole problem comes from the moment where

Code Select Expand

dig +noall +answer engine.localdomain ANY
is not returning anything.

How can I make unbound return authoritative answers for "localdomain" zone ?
