Unbound Feature request: Advanced configuration in WebUI. [implemented 1.4.12]

[kimnzl]

I would find it great to be able to set custom configuration for unbound.conf from within the WebUI.

What I would like is the field at the bottom of the Squid configuration page - the Custom Options field.

Currently if I have a multi WAN setup and need to force some domains to be resolved by the secondary link.
Thanks for the Unbound package! It has been a great help.

I can do - but can you give me an example of what you want to put there?

[kimnzl]

forward-zone:
name: "snap.net.nz"
forward-addr: 202.37.101.1
forward-addr: 202.37.101.2

As I have 202.37.101.1 and 202.37.101.2 setup to route out via WAN2 that should force the DNS requests out via that.

Ok i see that it is useful. I'll add it. Ideally we probably want a page so that you can add 'forward-zones' and specify multiple and different forward-addr's.

[kimnzl]

Awesome. Thanks!  ;D

All done, just reinstall unbound, which will update you to the latest 1.4.12 version and under advanced at the bottom of the page is a custom options section.
I have used the same syntax as squid so for example:

forward-zone:;name: "snap.net.nz";forward-addr: 202.37.101.1;forward-addr: 202.37.101.2

will get you what you want.

So I guess we can allow IPv6 ACLs using the custom section?

[kimnzl]

wagons: Awesome, it works as expected. Saves me having to edit by hand the configuration file.

johnpoz: You should be able to. It is for any native unbound.conf options. Just end each line with a semi-colon ;

[wagonza]

You can try for access-lists, I havent tried it but I have a feeling it wont work and will probably complain.

Thanks Wagonza, for the update!
