Kresd blocking reverse DNS from /etc/hosts

Software SW help
1

I have knot-resolver - 5.1.1-2.0 on TOS 5.0.0
I configured providing DNS for hosts:

list hostname_config '/etc/hosts

while direct resolution works:

gw.lan. 5 IN A 192.168.x.1

reverse does not:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
1.x.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 10800 IN	SOA	1.x.168.192.in-addr.arpa. nobody.invalid. 1 3600 1200 604800 10800

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
explanation.invalid.	10800	IN	TXT	"Blocking is mandated by standards, see references on https://www.iana.org/assignments/locally-served-dns-zones/locally-served-dns-zones.xhtml"

Is this a known bug? Is there something I can do to make resolution working?

Well, yes, this is done sub-optimally right now (upstream link). You can work around it by adding that simple line to your custom configuration.

Thanks, this works. In /etc/default/resolver:

config resolver 'kresd'
...
        option include_config '/etc/kresd/custom.config'

and in /etc/kresd/custom.config:

policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.PASS, {todname('x.168.192.in-addr.arpa.')}))
policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.PASS, {todname('x+1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.')}))
