      No it needs to be enabled for host and domain override to work.. You can see from previous posts that host override works.. ie
      From the settings page
      Note: Domain Overrides and Host entries will be allowed to return answers if this option is enabled.

      See local overrides work just fine..

      but now I have a domain override set, shows up in the unbound config, the server it points to at 192.168.1.4 is running bind, clearly answers for that zone test.ip, but when you ask the pfsense box running unbound you get servfail?

      Here are the settings from unbound, and host and domain overrides, etc.

      And showing that the override for the domain is listed in the unbound config.

      Still fails - also seems to me that if your pointing pfsense to itself only (unbound) for dns in general setup, that upon update to new snap the reinstall of packages fail..

        Ok i think i might have an idea on the problem here, can you send me your unbound.conf please? You can comment out any private data.

        yeah it wouldnt because no name resolution can take place as unbound is not started yet.

            hmm…odd Unbound picked up a lower amount than that. Could have been an old snap that you were on which had a lower kern.ipc.maxsockbuf. Anyway it should be working for you since I did add some additional checks which will protect against what you experienced.
            I have also just committed ACL support so if you reinstall you will see an additional page to allow other networks to query Unbound.
            If you do use it just remember to add the necessary firewall rules.

            Let me know if you pick up any problems please.

                  Have you set the pfSense box as a DNS server on your dhcp tab? Otherwise you will get your DNS Servers from General Setup to your clients via dhcp and there might be a rule blocking DNS outgoing traffic. I can't see more in my crystal circle here, you need to give us more info on what your setup is like…

                      Today after updating pfsense i got the same error stating "Adress already in use". Ticking "save" at the unbound-page solved the problem. I didn't have this now long time. Only at the beginning of deployment of the unbound-package, say last year.

                        Looks like Borat is no longer with us :(
                        http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/dnssec-or-not.org

                        Here's another site, although a lot less satisfying to use, and not just because there's no Borat. A lookup failure is really a lame way to confirm that DNSSEC is working, considering many other factors could cause this, leading to an illusion of security. Bravo, Comcast. Anybody know of a better test site? Google results look sparse.

                              Interesting. I updated to 1.2.9 from 1.2.8 and my config was preserved except for listening interfaces. Where I had selected 4 interfaces previously, only LAN was selected after the upgrade.

                                Also did that update now. Config stays the same, except the interface problem I also have. Just one of my normally three selected interfaces (LAN) was active for the usage of Unbound…

                                  So that was the problem? You could have easily found out by looking at the logs ;-)

                                  yes that was the problem

                                  I know I know that is what I get for rushing and the bad part is that I have a sticky posted on the box
                                  to always check the logs when trying to fix connection error.

                                  Unbound taste great less filling  works great :=)

                                    Is there a script to do this? I could set up a page but maybe it is beyond me….

                                    Looks like Borat is no longer with us :(

                                    Here's another site, although a lot less satisfying to use, and not just because there's no Borat. A lookup failure is really a lame way to confirm that DNSSEC is working, considering many other factors could cause this, leading to an illusion of security. Bravo, Comcast. Anybody know of a better test site? Google results look sparse.

                                        Try removing and reinstalling the package. Also watch the system.log while installing - you should see that the unbound user is added…

                                            Oh boy. Looks like the PFSENSE 2.0 Beta package installation is broken again.

                                            We had this a few weeks ago with the Squid package - holding off on updating until someone confirms it is fixed.

                                            I keep two boxes so when the snapshot is broken I go to the other box until a fix issued.  :(
