+**NOTE:**  local-data is often associated with a [[Networking:DNS:Unbound:Local Zones|local-zone]]
+<code>
+local-zone: <zone> <type>
+local-data: "<resource record string>"
+</code>
+If you configure **local-data** without specifying **local-zone**, by default a transparent local-zone is created for the data.

+----
+You can add locally served data with:
+<code>
+local-zone: "local." static
+local-data: "mycomputer.local. IN A 192.0.2.51"
+local-data: 'mytext.local TXT "content of text record"'
+</code>
+You can override certain queries with:
+<code>
+local-data: "adserver.example.com A 127.0.0.1"
+</code>
+You can redirect a domain to a fixed address with:
+<code>
+# This makes example.com, www.example.com, etc, all go to 192.0.2.3.
+local-zone: "example.com" redirect
+local-data: "example.com A 192.0.2.3"
+</code>
+You can also add PTR records using local-data directly ("ipv4 name" or "ipv6 name"), but then you need to do the reverse notation yourself:
+<code>
+local-data-ptr: "192.0.2.3 www.example.com"
+</code>
