+Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
+The C implementation of Unbound is developed and maintained by
+NLnet Labs. It is based on ideas and algorithms taken from a java
+prototype developed by Verisign labs, Nominet, Kirei and ep.net.
+
+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.
