Setting up unbound DNS server
Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver that supports DNSSEC.
Install
Install the package:
apk add unbound
Configure
The following configuration is an example of a caching name server (in a production server, it's recommended to adjust the access-control parameter to limit access to your network). The forward-zone section will forward all DNS queries to the specified servers.
- /etc/unbound/unbound.conf
server: verbosity: 1 interface: 10.0.0.1 do-ip4: yes do-ip6: no do-udp: yes do-tcp: yes do-daemonize: yes access-control: 0.0.0.0/0 allow python: remote-control: control-enable: no #enable to not answer id.server and hostname.bind queries. hide-identity: yes #enable to not answer version.server and version.bind queries. hide-version: yes forward-zone: name: "." #Level3 Verizon forward-addr: 4.2.2.1 forward-addr: 4.2.2.4
