-The C implementation of Unbound is developed and maintained by NLnet Labs. It is based on ideas

-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.
