I have a feature request for Unbound: Orientation Could Unbound use the same DNSSEC methods that confirm the root name servers to also confirm that an authoritative server on the local network segment is affirmatively authoritative, private or fqdn? What this tells me is that my system knows for certain that it is in a particular network and domain. If so, it can change the firewall rules and run services as well as scripts for synchronization, etc... These are all things I would only want to do if I were on my own network. Or maybe I would want to do them differently depending on my system's network/domain orientation. This is a question more and more systems will face, and I think Unbound can be the best way to know where one is in these networks.
As a bonus, if Unbound could communicate the system's orientation by way of D-bus it would be even more useful. [re: systemd?] I understand that eventually unbound may want to be able to deal with subnets or non-local authoritative name servers, but first I hope to hear if this feature request does what I think it does. or is this done by something else already? So, is this something Unbound might want to do? is it useful?
