We've recently set up Unbound as a local recursive resolver, which is working great. We've got a dozen or so servers on our rack across three different domains, so we've been using our /etc/hosts file to set up aliases for them. For example:
123.456.78.910 jim.domain1.com jim 234.567.89.012 doug.domain2.com doug 345.678.90.123 sally.domain3.com sally This way, we can easily connect to local systems by simply doing "ssh jim" or 'ftp sally." The problem is that when we change a host's IP address, or add a new host to the rack, we have to manually update the hosts file on EVERY box, so I've been fiddling with unbound to try and make it so we only have to update it in one place, and then it will act as the local resolver for those IPs. I can make it function with the following: local-zone: "local." static local-data: "jim.local. IN A 123.456.78.910" local-data: "doug.local. IN A 234.567.89.012" local-data: "sally.local. IN A 345.678.90.123" But it's not exactly what we want... we have to do "ping jim.local" or "ssh doug.local" to connect. Is there a way to configure unbound.conf so that it will work without the ".local" ?
