There is one version of c-ares in resiprocate as well. C-ares has been in use for a long time and is in use every single day for you as part of most curl installs. I am not sure there is much to do there.
Libunbound adds a lot if that is what we want. Why is a cache a good thing? You surely have a caching resolver running on your system, right? DNSsec is a huge deal - and the foundation for a lot of security things coming up. Someone wrote an IETF draft about that and SIP. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-johansson-sipcore-dane-sip-00 I got a patch sent to me that implements that in Asterisk with unbound, but haven't gotten time to go through it and test it. /O On 12 Feb 2015, at 16:25, Brad Watkins <[email protected]> wrote: > Looking at this, I'm inclined to say that libunbound is the better of > the two options in spite of it being somewhat more difficult to > consume DNS records than it would be with c-ares.
