I want to switch from macOS Server to unbound for a local LAN DNS as its DNS features will be deprecated soon, but my reading tells me that unbound only acts as a recursive nameserver, not authoritative.

What’s the general consensus on a good authoritative server to pair with unbound?

I can see both knot and nsd are packaged in devuan, but have no experience with any outside BIND9 and macOS.
