Networking - DNS - Unbound - Selectively override DNS records

To add some local information into the normal DNS data.

Override an A record

local-zone: example.org typetransparent
local-data: "server.example.org A 8.8.8.8"

NOTE: Any other DNS records for server.example.org will be returned as-is, such as MX records.

local-zone: example.com transparent
local-data: "server.example.com A 9.9.9.9"

NOTE: This also effectively deleted all other DNS records for it. If it has an MX record or a TXT record or what have you, those records will not be visible.

For any names in transparent local-data zones, you are in complete control of all records returned;
- either they are in your local-data stanzas, or they do not exist.
