            Bug ID: 222902
           Summary: local_unbound interfering with port version and other
                    problems
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: joeb1 at a1poweruser.com

1. local_unbound is executing /usr/sbin/unbound and when the port version of
unbound is installed the /usr/sbin/unbound is still being used causing a
crossover mixture between local_unbound version of unbound and the ports
version of unbound.
Solution is to complete the renaming of all the unbound components to be
prefixed with "local_" like it should have been done in the first place. 
IE: man, conf, bin modules, lib modules. Examples; This file
/usr/sbin/local-unbound-setup should be renamed to
/usr/sbin/local_unbound-setup, and /usr/sbin/unbound renamed to
/usr/sbin/local_unbound.

2. The usage of local_unbound is integrated with other OS functions. There is
no documentation explaining their interaction. A simple man page explaining the
customized local_unbound setup configuration and the interaction between 
/etc/resolv.conf, /libexec/resolvconf/unbound, /usr/sbin/local-unbound-setup
and the resolvconf command would go a long way to make it more user friendly.

3. local_unbound  is at version 1.5.10 and the current upstream version
available is 1.6.7. Time to upgrade the local_unbound version to be current.

4. As currently configured local_unbound is forced to use the ISP DNS servers
retrieved from /etc/resolv.conf. unbound comes with a built-in "root-zone"
function which negates the need for a "forward-zone:" section all together. The
current local_unbound configuration should be changed to deploy unbound's
built-in "root-zone" function.
