Background: I have Unbound running on OPNSense as my home network DNS
server.
Question: Is there a setting to have Unbound resolve plain host names
(*cookie*) against my default LAN domain (*sesame.street*)?
At home, my laptops use /etc/resolv.conf, so everything without a
domain name (*cookie*), automatically gets the local LAN domain for
free (*sesame.street*). Now everything resolves just fine:
*cookie.sesame.street.**

But I'm running into this issue with the Android phones, which seem
to strictly query host names (without the local domain name).
(Ofcourse, they are on DHCP so to do have the local domain name.) As
a result, Unbound doesn't resolve those queries, but forwards
*cookie* to the root servers. Which is kinda silly.
Thanks!

Hi,
something like this should work:
1) bind the ip of laptops and android phones to their wifi MAC address
so that they get handed out always the same ip and your
internal unbound as dns server
2) set all boxes with wired connections to static ip addresses
3) add: include: "/var/lib/unbound/local-data.conf" to your
unbound.conf file with something like (use your ip):
local-data: "cookie A 192.168.XXX.YYY"
local-data: "cookie.sesame.street A 192.168.XXX.YYY"
4) restart unbound
Ciao,
Tito
Thanks for the suggestion. But that's basically getting back to fixed IP
addresses, albeit centralized. And you need to maintain it. I'm hoping
for an /etc/resolv kind of behavioral switch.
