[Unbound-users] Using Unbound as a transparent, captive DNS resolver

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your reply. We are using ipfw under FreeBSD so iptables will
not work.

A standard fwd rule will work, but the result will have a source address of
the unbound server rather than the queried server so the client will ignore
it.

I can create a wrapper that will just rewrite the address of the reply, but
it would be great if unbound could do this directly rather than adding
another piece of code.

Thank you,


Gerald
