Unbound is designed as a set of modular components, so that also
|
|
|
|
|
DNSSEC (secure DNS) validation and stub-resolvers (that do not run as
|
|
|
|
|
a server, but are linked into an application) are easily possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Goals:
|
|
|
|
|
* A validating recursive DNS resolver.
|
|
|
|
|
* Code diversity in the DNS resolver monoculture.
|
|
|
|
|
* Drop-in replacement for BIND apart from config.
|
|
|
|
|
* DNSSEC support.
|
|
|
|
|
* Fully RFC compliant.

|
|
|
* High performance, even with validation enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
* Used as: stub resolver, full caching name server, resolver library.

|
|
|
* Elegant design of validator, resolver, cache modules.
|
|
|
|
|
o provide the ability to pick and choose modules.
|
|
|
|
|
* Robust.
|
|
|
|
|
* In C, open source: The BSD license.
|
|
|
|
|
* Smallest as possible component that does the job.
|
|
|
|
|
* Stub-zones can be configured (local data or AS112 zones).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-goals:
|
|
|
|
|
* An authoritative name server.
|
|
|
|
|
* Too many Features.
