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.
Goals:
* A validating recursive DNS resolver.
* Code diversity in the DNS resolver monoculture.
* Drop-in replacement for BIND apart from config.
* DNSSEC support.
* Fully RFC compliant.
* High performance
o even with validation.
* Used as
o stub resolver.
o full caching name server.
o resolver library.
* Elegant design of validator, resolver, cache modules.
o provide the ability to pick and choose modules.
* Robust.
* In C, open source: The BSD license.
* Smallest as possible component that does the job.
* Stub-zones can be configured (local data or AS112 zones).
Non-goals:
* An authoritative name server.
* Too many Features.

is that the cp_time symbol is no longer avaliable in the nevest kernels.
Use kern.cp_time sysctl which has been around for 8 years or so, so that
it should be present virtually in every FreeBSD version that is able
to use modern ports tree (4.x and upper). Sysctl is also better from the
security standpoint, as you don't need elevated privileges to get the data.
One should probably look at converting few others uses of KVM here, but
ENOTIME from me. The patch has been submitted to the vendor.
