Hi Ben,

hmm. How can I manage what google suggests:
"Information for school network administrators about the No-SSL option

To utilize the no SSL option for your network, configure the DNS entry
for www.google.com to be a CNAME for nosslsearch.google.com."

You can find this quite at the end of the document.

How can I realize such a configuration in bind?

As you've been told, you can't. CNAMEs can't live at zone apex, so you
can't a CNAME at the zone apex of "www.google.com". And if you create
"google.com" as a zone, all other hostnames will be blackholed,
including "nosslsearch.google.com".

I don't know why Google have made that suggestion; it's a bad
suggestion, that's not supported by many nameservers.

I personally think it's a bad idea to try and disable SSL search for
your users too, but that's your decision.

"unbound" might be able to to this, with a transparent local-zone and
local-data override for "www.google.com".

Or did they really mean, create a hosts file on the local machine that contains...

Or in your proxy server redirect www.google.com to nosslsearch.google.com

DNS server software is not very supportive of doing this for good reasons.
