Unbound DNS Questions

Hello all,

I am running Unbound as my DNS server. I have a server who's resolv.conf is setup as:

nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0 trust-ad
search rics.prod regulatoryintelligence.com

The hosts file is setup as:

10.0.2.21       app1.rics.prod app1 

When I run nslookup app1 it responds as:

Server:         127.0.0.53
Address:        127.0.0.53#53

Name:   app1.rics.prod
Address: 10.0.2.21

Why am I not seeing my Unbound server in the server or address section? Should I not see this, since Unbound is the only DNS server? Am I misconfigured?

Thanks,
Steve

One thing I did see between two servers on the same subnet.

If you run resolvectl status on one server it returns the following:

Global
       Protocols: -LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
resolv.conf mode: stub

Link 2 (ens160)
    Current Scopes: DNS
         Protocols: +DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Current DNS Server: 10.0.3.1
       DNS Servers: 10.0.3.1
        DNS Domain: regulatoryintelligence.com rics.prod

If you run it on the second server it returns the following:

Global
         Protocols: -LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
  resolv.conf mode: stub

Link 2 (ens33)
    Current Scopes: DNS
         Protocols: +DefaultRoute -LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Current DNS Server: 10.0.2.1
       DNS Servers: 10.0.2.1
        DNS Domain: rics.prod regulatoryintelligence.com

As an additional question why is the domain order different between these servers?
