I've got a home lab server and I can run my own DNS. I already have a pi-hole and I wanted to make a resolver also. Anyone got any setup tips?
my goal is to have a local DNS in case of DNS fuckery.
For instance - a resolver will only go to root servers, but are they likely to remain intact?
(points to tin foil hat and nods knowingly)
-edit for clarification
pi-hole with unbound is cool, and I'm considering that, but at the moment looking at DNS on windows server as a resolver not a forwarder.
try this https://github.com/anudeepND/pihole-unbound
Yes! I ran unbound for a while it's neat. Then something broke and it quit working. I wasn't cool enough to fix it. It seemed to be something with the date/time.
I would consider running unbound in it's own VM to keep them separated. (My pi-hole is in a VM)
A quick alternative would be to try these servers. https://dns.watch/
