Description

DNS resolver only allows individual host overrides for forward lookups, not reverse.

Use case: (sloppy) ISP doesn't have reverse entries on some of it's routers or hosts, only ip shows up.

When I look at traffic, darkstat, traceroute etc reports, I see IPs. Previously I've figured out what some hosts do, would be nice to tag them, eg googlevideo.com local cache, which feeds a lot of youtube traffic.

Domain Overrides set for x.x.10.in-addr.arpa are for whole subnets, not individual hosts, meaning need to feed the reverse query back to another DNS server.

Would be tidier to do it all on the pfSense box.

mehh, probably invalid.

Creating a host override already creates a pointer entry as well.

eg /var/unbound/host_entries.conf

local-data-ptr: "127.0.0.1 localhost" 
local-data: "localhost A 127.0.0.1"

As you see, it already adds the PTR records.
