Unbound and forward-zones, using DNS instead IP

Unbound
1

Hi All,

Is it possible to use DNS name instead of ip for forwarded zones?
AWS implemented new feature, UDP load balancing, but doesn’t support private static ips,

I tried to set dns name, but gon an error:
unbound-checkconf[22878:0] error: cannot parse forward egdp-stcl. ip address: ‘apo-data-ctics.aws.hcom’

Hi Eduard,

Instead of `forward-addr:` you can use `forward-host:`.

From the man page:

    forward-host: <domain name>
        Name of server to forward to. Is itself resolved before it
        is used.

Best regards,
