Unbound requires ldns, which is a good thing. Part of this project would also be to enable drill so that we have a command-line dns lookup tool in the base, but that's trivial once you've got ldns imported. After you get those 3 elements in the base I'm happy to pull BIND out by the roots. Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
