Hello Unbound Users,
I’m running a server on my home network. The server runs a wiki and some other things. I often work on a laptop which is sometimes connected to the local network and sometimes external to it.
So I’d like the same URL to resolve no matter which network I happen to be on at the time. i.e. If I’m at home the IP is 192.168.10.231 (the local one) and if I’m not then I need 59.167.236.119.
Enter ‘unbound’ which I installed to help me with this problem.
I’ve told the local network router that the machine running unbound is the primary DNS: 192.168.10.231.
My servers.conf file:
server:
interface: 0.0.0.0
access-control: 192.168.10.0/16 allow
do-not-query-localhost: no
local-zone: “dev.lastmilexchange.com.” redirect
local-data: “dev.lastmilexchange.com. IN A 192.168.10.231”
local-data-prt: “192.168.10.231 homedns”
server: div-anchor-file: “C:[etc]”
And when I try to use this, nslookup is grand but ping is not. Using the browser to go to the wiki seems to suffer the same problem ping does, though if I hit it via the local IP it’s all good.
C:>nslookup dev.lastmilexchange.com
Server: homedns
Address: 192.168.10.231
Name: dev.lastmilexchange.com
Address: 192.168.10.231
C:>ping dev.lastmilexchange.com
