(In reply to Jose Luis Duran from comment #11)
1. The point of interest is that local_unbound sends information about the
local network using private IPv4 address space out to the internet.  That's a
(small, but unnecessary) security risk that should be fixed, and it clearly
violates RFC 6761.

2. That does _not_ free the default configuration shipped (or created by a
script) to comply to RFC 6761 & the strict interpretation of RFC 2119 as I
outlined in my comment #5: for the application/domain of default knobs, a
SHOULD/SHOULD_NOT has to be treated as if it's a MUST/MUST_NOT.  Very, very
seldom there can be a /resonable/ exception to this general rule.  Please
either tell the reasons or even better, give up your resistance & simply change
that knob as requested.
