Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Thanks for adding the forward only zone options to the dns/bind plugin. It needs an option to allow setting the "forward only" tag on a zone though. The default for a forward domain is forward first, but will still check upstream servers. If you define a forward zone for a reverse zone, it will fail even if local forward servers respond with valid response, without this tag.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
(e.g. I would like an input field in the /ui/firewall/alias which would add .... to ....)
Add a checkbox to forward only zone configuration to tag zone with "forward only" or make it default. I personally have never used forward type zone without it. Either forward or reverse.
I was able to test by manually editing /usr/local/etc/namedb/named.conf, adding the "forward only;" line to one of my reverse zones, and doing a kill -s 1 to the bind process at which point the forward reverse zone successfully resolves.
zone "5.9.10.in-addr.arpa" {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { 10.9.5.11; 10.9.5.15; };
};
