>From what I can find, I only have to place that declaration in the rc.conf file to get unbound working. I found the info here:  http://blog.des.no/2013/09/local-caching-resolver-in-freebsd-10/ However, I am not sure if I am also supposed to put the "service local_unbound start" line into the rc.conf file also. If not; how am I supposed to start the service?  I think the directions could use a little clarification.
