Serving local subdomains

[Neil Romig]

Zack,

My mistake!

local-zone: "example.com" typetransparent does exactly what is needed. DNS is a bit of a headache for a novice like me...

I do notice a difference between output of dig (shows desired results - the internal ip for subdomains and external for domain/website)
and of unbound-host (always returns the external ip) - another mystery to solve.

Regards,

Neil.

P.S A bit nervous about top-posting, but I see it is fairly common on this list..
