BIND - how can I add domain and/or host overrides?

Wow, BIND is great.

I want to stop using unbound, I just need a way (rather than chaining unbound and BIND together... which I could do..) to simply add host and domain overrides like in the Unbound DNS overrides section.

Just create a domain and the needed records :)

Yes, I can see that functionality, but it's not really it.

Some of the DNS servers for domain names I'd like to use have many 100's of records. I don't want to be a slave DNS server, I'd just like to conditionally forward DNS queries for those domain names to specific authoritative name servers, Microsoft DNS calls that conditional forwarders.

I know BIND does support this type of this behavior, "Forward Zones".

Code Select Expand

zone "domain.com" {
   type forward;
   forwarders { 123.123.123.123; 123.123.123.124; };
};

Yes, there is already an open feature request.
