I think it depends, eventually less and less IPv4-addresses will be available and thus we'll get a lot more different situations, where unbound with it's IPv4-address might be further away from the hosts that query it, more centralized. Also what if people just want a simple modern network with just IPv6-addresses for simple(r) management ? If you use IPv4, most of the time, you're doing NAT anyway, might as well (if it works well enough, for you, which it might not for a lot of people) use NAT-PT or something similair. I don't know what kind of things will develop. I did see the project at [0] was/is also partly funded bij NLnet Labs and it's a patch to Unbound so I thought it might merge eventually. _______________________________________________ Unbound-users mailing list [email protected] http://unbound.nlnetlabs.nl/mailman/listinfo/unbound-users
