Error saving DNS Resolver settings

cyberzeus

pfSense version: 2.6.0 AMD64

When tyring to save the DNS Resolver settings that include (a) the "Enable Forwarding Mode" checked; (b) a Custom option, the following error is thrown:

If I uncheck the Enable Forwarding Mode or remove the Custom option, the settings save as expected.

I did check line 109 of the /var/unbound/test/unbound.conf file and it contains the Custom option.

Has anyone seen this? Is this a possible defect?

contains the Custom option.

And what option is that? You most likely need

server: before it

Bravo friend.

I tried several custom options each resulting in the same error. And because I never needed to add server: prior to checking the Enable Forwarding Mode checkbox, it didn't even occur to me to try this.

Thanks for your help...

@johnpoz --- Right but unbound actually runs - the settings just wouldn't save. In any event, I hadn't see this so appreicate you pointing it out...
