Hello

Assuming you mean you want it to keep a local copy of the root that
it uses rather than the regular root servers when resolving queries,
add this to unbound.conf:

# FOR ROOT LOOPBACK
auth-zone:
       name: "."
       primary: 192.228.79.201 # b.root-servers.net
       primary: 192.33.4.12 # c.root-servers.net
       primary: 192.5.5.241 # f.root-servers.net
       primary: 192.112.36.4 # g.root-servers.net
       primary: 193.0.14.129 # k.root-servers.net
       primary: 192.0.47.132 # xfr.cjr.dns.icann.org
       primary: 192.0.32.132 # xfr.lax.dns.icann.org
       primary: 2001:500:84::b # b.root-servers.net
       primary: 2001:500:2f::f # f.root-servers.net
       primary: 2001:7fd::1 # k.root-servers.net
       primary: 2620:0:2830:202::132 # xfr.iad.dns.icann.org
       primary: 2620:0:2d0:202::132 # xfr.lax.dns.icann.org
       fallback-enabled: yes
       for-downstream: no
       for-upstream: yes

Hello John

I think I mean, can unbound be the "root server" on an isolated network.
That will resolve custom created URL's without external name servers.

You can use local-data and local-zone lines in unbound.conf to provide your own data which so, yes. You'll want access-control lines to tell it that it's OK to send answers to addresses on your network.

I use local-data and local-zone on my home netmwork to give names to devices behind my NAT router and to shortcircuit queries to some ad networks.
