In that case, you could put the following in /etc/unbound/unbound.conf: root-hints /etc/lan.dns Inside /etc/lan.dns you'd presumably put the IP address of your LAN's master resolver. The unbound.conf manpage wasn't forthcoming as to the exact format of lan.dns should be, nor did it say whether the hints in lan.dns were prepended to the built in hints (which would be good) or overwrite the built in hints (need to change lan.dns every time you hit the road). For use outside your local LAN, unbound seems outstanding to me.
