Dnsmasq DNS
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure, DNS forwarder, which can be used to answer to dns queries
|
||||
from your network.
|
||||
|
||||
Similar functionality is also provided by "Unbound DNS", our standard enabled forward/resolver service.
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases people prefer to use dnsmasq or combine it with our default enabled resolver (Unbound).
|
||||
|
||||
.. Note::
|
||||
|
||||
Since OPNsense 17.7 Unbound has been our standard DNS service, the main reason for Dnsmasq being shipped
|
||||
in our product is for compatibility. Although there are some use-cases that require Dnsmasq specifically,
|
||||
most users better opt for Unbound.
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
General settings
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Most settings are pretty straightforward here, enable the service, listen on a port (53 when empty) and
|
||||
assign interfaces to listen to.
|
||||
You can register dhcp static mappings as well, so the forwarder will know internally defined hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
Host overrides
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Here you define static hostnames, which allow you to reply a specific address when being asked.
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
Domain Overrides
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If a specific domain should be answered by a different DNS server, you can configure it here.
