Forward-zone: Is it possible to read the domain "name:" clause from text input file?

Unbound

Hi there,

I have been looking for a way to configure forward-zone domains in a single text file instead of listing them each individually.

Hypothetical example below:

-------- SNIP ----------

forward-zone:
         name: file /etc/domains.txt
         forward-addr: 10.0.0.2

--------END -----------

instead of the usual:

------- SNIP -----------

forward-zone:
         name: banana.com
         forward-addr: 10.0.0.2

forward-zone:
         name: banana2.com
         forward-addr: 10.0.0.2

forward-zone:
         name: banana3.com
         forward-addr: 10.0.0.2

--------- END ----------

etc etc...

If such syntax exists I would be greatly thankful, if not.. perhaps you guys have ideas how to implement something like this without a million forward-zone: clauses in the unbound.conf

Thanks

Generate a file (from your data source) and include it in unbound.conf?

Thanks for the response

Alright so using:

include: "/tmp/domains.txt"

what would the syntax be in the forward-zone: section ?

forward-zone:
         name: $include ??
         forward-addr: 10.0.0.2

what would the syntax be in the forward-zone: section ?

$ grep include unbound.conf
include "myzones.txt"

$ cat myzones.txt
forward-zone:
        name: banana.com
        forward-addr: 10.0.0.2
forward-zone:
        name: banana2.com
        forward-addr: 10.0.0.2
...
