[Bug 252332] [NEW] backport request of unbound dns server from Intrepid to hardy

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Michael Casadevall (sonicmctails):

Because of the latest DNS Exploits there is need for users and sysadmins
of a clean DNS-Server with a good DNSSEC implementation.

Because Unbound has not many dep's, it should be relatively easy to back
port from Intrepid.

About Unbound:

Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
The C implementation of Unbound is developed and maintained by NLnet Labs. It is based on ideas and algorithms taken from a java prototype developed by Verisign labs, Nominet, Kirei and ep.net.
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.
The source code is under a BSD License.
