Hello Havard,
reading RFC 9462 and looking in my resolver logs, I only see one type of queries:
`_dns.resolver.arpa. SVCB`
So, I added these two lines in my unbound.conf:
local-zone: resolver.arpa. static
local-data: '_dns.resolver.arpa. 300 SVCB <your data here>'
Now, I can test:
$ dig @resolver-ip _dns.resolver.arpa. SVCB +short
<your data here>
$ dig _dns.resolver.arpa. SVCB +short
<your data here>
That's all.
But it does not necessary mean, any client will magically *use* the announced DoT / DoH / DoQ :-/
