Hello,<div><br></div><div>I've been playing around with Unbound and thus far have been /very/ impressed with its performance. In fact, the only thing currently preventing me switching our primary and secondary DNS from BIND to Unbound is the fact that I can't seem to figure out how to get CNAME resolution to work properly. The documentation makes reference to using a stub-zone to gain CNAME support, but it's not obvious what that means exactly. I've played around with different stub-zone configurations but as of yet haven't found that seems to work correctly.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The only example I've found that highlights a CNAME entry as part of the Unbound config file is located at > <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-using-unbound-nameserver-on-debian-etch">http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-using-unbound-nameserver-on-debian-etch</a> < Unfortunately the provided example -- a sample of which is provided inline below -- doesn't work. Can someone steer me in the right direction as far as how to go about referencing both an internal and external CNAME alias which Unbound will then resolve when requests for the configured sub-domain are made?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for your help!</div><div><br></div><div><div>local-zone: "<a href="http://example.net">example.net</a>." static</div><div> local-data: "<a href="http://example.net">example.net</a>. 86400 IN NS <a href="http://ns1.hostingcompany.com">ns1.hostingcompany.com</a>."</div>
