Unbound has some function to load local data dynamically such as

requirements_.
I understand that ability to loading /etc/hosts as local data (by
just giving /etc/hosts path) is useful for some people, but I don't
know how the function should be and fulfills many users' requirements.
Needs to add PTR records? Needs to add some domain suffix?
Yes, reverse PTR record back to primary name would be nice. Domain
suffix should not be necessary. /etc/hosts allows aliases, so you can
have line like "10.0.0.1 primary.example.com primary". That would make
primary.example.com a primary fully qualified domain name. And
"primary." just an alias without matching PTR record. Either just
address or even CNAME to primary.example.com.
It seems to me it could be a special implementation of Cache DB module.
I admit I have never tried to use CacheDB module yet.

Hi everyone,
Is there some plugin for automatically watching /etc/hosts file for
changes and loading them as a local data?
