It's a copy of unbound with a setup script that configures it as
a cache to run on 127.0.0.1.  It looks in /etc/resolv.conf to use
any DNS forwarding you've set up and some other places for
stuff that seems more exotic.

If you're using the unbound port or package that's instead of
local-unbound. The package version is updated more often, currently
1.19.1 vs. 1.17.1 for local-unbound on fbsd 13.3.

R's,
John
