I use unwind on my notebook where one particular domain must always go
through one particular resolver; this resolver should should not be
used for anything else.
Hence I overwrite the default preference list (output of
`unwind -vnf/dev/null') by removing `oDoT-forwarder' and `forwarder'
such that unwind never tries it for any query by default.
unwind.conf then looks like this:
# special domain
forwarder { 2001:db9::1 }
force accept bogus forwarder { example.com. }
# default with forwarder disabled
preference { DoT recursor oDoT-dhcp dhcp stub }
This does not work however because removing `forwarder' from the list
also prevents the `force' block from working, i.e. despite an explicit
"always use this type for this domain" unwind still honours the global
default and therefore never tries the forwarder even for forced domains.
Is this working as intended, e.g. am misinterpreting the wording in
unwind.conf(5)?
preference {type ...}
A list of DNS name server types to specify the order in which
name servers are picked when measured round-trip time medians are
equal. [...]
force [accept bogus] type {name ...}
Force resolving of name and its subdomains by the given resolver
type. If accept bogus is specified validation is not enforced.
