I've not worked with dnsmasq so can't comment on it. > How difficult is it to get the OpenBSD provided dhcpd and unbound to > do this? It's been a few years and it's not something I go back to often, but I did not find it difficult to configure dhcpd and unbound for this scenario. I basically set up dhcpd.conf with static addresses for the devices that would get local dns names, and a local-zone, local-data, and local-data-ptr records for these in unbound.conf. Also configure interface and access-control for your local network, and forward-zone to send everything else to your ISP's DNS, Google, or whatever. If you've never done it before, as I hadn't, do study the man pages. My advice is to keep configurations as minimal/simple or as close to default as possible until you understand what's going on. I found https://dnswatch.com/dns-docs/UNBOUND/ helpful for additional reading also, but with any blog posts be sure to crosscheck the current man pages as blogs tend to go stale over time. Allan
