I am very puzzled because even on my old netbook which has only 2GB ram, unbound (with standard parameters) is only 132 KB. So of course I have the strong desire to drastically increase, but being pretty clueless, I am also wary :) > > Not sure what you mean with "physically located".

Thank you a lot, sorry for my bad english. So it would be better to have the LAN query a machine / gateway which runs the service, as opposed to activating the service on each machine to take care of itself? One more question, is there a way to feed data to unbound cache? Such as blacklists or already resolved whitelists? I can only imagine the brute force and crude method of inserting a huge load of stuff into HOSTS file, run a script that calls all those IPs while I supposedly sleep (do we ever sleep?), then feed it another chunk until it's all done. More elegant solutions?
