Add extended forward zone type for overriding public domain records
An extended zone answers authoritatively only for the records it holds locally; any name with nothing configured falls through to recursive resolution instead of a synthesized NXDOMAIN, so a public domain's records don't need to be duplicated just to override a few of them.

|
||||
Names are relative to the zone apex; `@` is the apex itself and `*` is a
|

wildcard. Quoting and 255-character chunking for TXT records is handled for you.

### An extended zone
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# UI: Zones → Forward Zones → Add Zone → Zone type: Extended
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use this when you want to override a handful of records for a domain that is
|
||||
otherwise a real public domain, without copying every one of its public
|
||||
records into vibeDNS. Only the names you add records for are answered
|
||||
locally; every other name (and every other record type at names you did add)
|
||||
is forwarded to the upstream resolver, exactly like a query for a domain with
|
||||
no local zone at all. If the local lookup finds nothing, the query goes to
|
||||
the internet; if that also fails, the client gets an error, not a false
|
||||
NXDOMAIN.
|
||||
|
||||
| Name | Type | Value | TTL |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `vpn` | A | `192.168.1.10` | 3600 |
|
||||
|
||||
With a zone like `example.com` set to Extended and only `vpn.example.com`
|
||||
configured, `vpn.example.com` resolves locally while `www.example.com`,
|
||||
`example.com` itself, and everything else under the domain still resolve
|
||||
against the public DNS.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reverse DNS
|
||||
|
||||
The point of the reverse zone form is that you never calculate a zone name.
