Unbound Rewrite Domain to local IP with Unbound_Manager Views?

[Mikey Dread]

I have been trying to figure out how to rewrite/redirect a domain lookup to a local IP. I think I can do that with "views" in unbound manger but can't seem to make it work. This adds it as type refuse

A:Option ==> views "name" domain.com redirect 192.168.1.xxx

What am I doing wrong?

you need to put redirect after the view name and before the domain

A:Option ==> views "name" redirect domain.com

then you will be prompted to put the resource record (RR) of the IP you're redirecting to

Enter RR for "name" redirect e.g. IN A 192.168.5.1 ==>: IN A 192.168.1.xxx

Thank You! Unbound takes it without an error now.

Don't forget that you you will want to create an access-control-view statement to specify the source IP or IP block that you want to redirect... fortunately unbound manager does this for you

Example : if you have a machine at 192.168.1.100 that you want to redirect to 192.168.1.200 if it queries domain.com then your view would be created by typing

A:Option ==> views "name" redirect domain.com 192.168.1.100

then when you are prompted for an RR you can type

Enter RR for "name" redirect e.g. IN A 192.168.5.1 ==>: IN A 192.168.1.200

this would create an entry in the unbound.config.views file like this.

# View: Clients
access-control-view: 192.168.1.100/32 "name"
# EndView Clients

# View: name
view:
name: "name"
view-first: yes
local-zone: "domain.com." redirect # "name"
local-data: "domain.com. IN A 192.168.1.200" # "name"
# EndView: name
