      Hi, I want to use the pfsense box as our dns server and also able to resolve internal servers.
      I don't see where you can "Add A records" like traditional DNS servers do.

      But I managed to accomplish what I want using the Host Overrides functionality.
      I have a feeling that this is not the proper way to do this? what is the "correct" way to do this?

      Thank you.

        unbound can also just self register and resolve your dhcp clients if you so desire.  But yes creating your host overrides is how you would add stuff you want to resolve locally.

        If you have a LOT of them, you can load them into a file and load that file into unbound if you so wanted too.
