[SUSPECT EMAIL: No Reputation] Re: unbound as root name server

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.

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: 192.5.5.241     # f.root-servers.net
       primary: 192.112.36.4    # g.root-servers.net
       primary: 193.0.14.129    # k.root-servers.net
