[OpenSER-Devel] [dnssec-deployment] Seeking early users for Unbound

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi!

I just read this about a new DNS resolver library. Maybe if we ever want 
  to change the resolver (for example to introduce a-sync DNS resolving 
or DNSSEC) this might be useful piece of software.

regards
klaus
