-TODO items. These are interesting todo items.
-o understand synthesized DNAMEs, so those TTL=0 packets are cached properly.
-o NSEC/NSEC3 aggressive negative caching, so that updates to NSEC/NSEC3
- will result in proper negative responses.
-o (option) where port 53 is used for send and receive, no other ports are used.
-o (option) to not send replies to clients after a timeout of (say 5 secs) has
- passed, but keep task active for later retries by client.
-o (option) private TTL feature (always report TTL x in answers).
-o (option) pretend-dnssec-unaware, and pretend-edns-unaware modes for workshops.
-o delegpt use rbtree for ns-list, to avoid slowdown for very large NS sets.
-o (option) reprime and refresh oft used data before timeout.
-o (option) retain prime results in a overlaid roothints file.
-o (option) store primed key data in a overlaid keyhints file (sort of like drafttimers).
-o windows version, auto update feature, a query to check for the version.
-o command the server with TSIG inband. get-config, clearcache,
- get stats, get memstats, get ..., reload, clear one zone from cache
-o NSID rfc 5001 support.
-o timers rfc 5011 support.
-o Treat YXDOMAIN from a DNAME properly, in iterator (not throwaway), validator.
-o make timeout backoffs randomized (a couple percent random) to spread traffic.
-o inspect date on executable, then warn user in log if its more than 1 year.
-o (option) proactively prime root, stubs and trust anchors, feature.
- early failure, faster on first query, but more traffic.
-o library add convenience functions for A, AAAA, PTR, getaddrinfo, libresolve.
-o library add function to validate input from app that is signed.
-o add dynamic-update requests (making a dynupd request) to libunbound api.
-o SIG(0) and TSIG.
-o support OPT record placement on recv anywhere in the additional section.
-o add local-file: config with authority features.
-o (option) to make local-data answers be secure for libunbound (default=no)
-o (option) to make chroot: copy all needed files into jail (or make jail)
- perhaps also print reminder to link /dev/random and sysloghack.
-o overhaul outside-network servicedquery to merge with udpwait and tcpwait,
- to make timers in servicedquery independent of udpwait queues.
-o check into rebinding ports for efficiency, configure time test.
-o EVP hardware crypto support.
-o option to ignore all inception and expiration dates for rrsigs.
-o cleaner code; return and func statements on newline.
-o memcached module that sits before validator module; checks for memcached
- data (on local lan), stores recursion lookup. Provides one cache for multiple resolver machines, coherent reply content in anycast setup.
-o no openssl_add_all_algorithms, but only the ones necessary, less space.
-o listen to NOTIFY messages for zones and flush the cache for that zone
- if received. Useful when also having a stub to that auth server.
- Needs proper protection, TSIG, in place.
-o winevent - do not go more than 64 fds (by polling with select one by
- one), win95/98 have 100fd limit in the kernel, so this ruins w9x portability.

-*** Features features, for later
-* dTLS, TLS, look to need special port numbers, cert storage, recent libssl.
-* aggressive negative caching for NSEC, NSEC3.
-* multiple queries per question, server exploration, server selection.
-* support TSIG on queries, for validating resolver deployment.
-* retry-mode, where a bogus result triggers a retry-mode query, where a list
- of responses over a time interval is collected, and each is validated.
- or try in TCP mode. Do not 'try all servers several times', since we must
- not create packet storms with operator errors.
-o on windows version, implement that OS ancillary data capabilities for
- interface-automatic. IPPKTINFO, IP6PKTINFO for WSARecvMsg, WSASendMsg.
-o local-zone directive with authority service, full authority server
- is a non-goal.
-o infra and lame cache: easier size config (in Mb), show usage in graphs.
-- store time of dump in cachedumps, so that on a load the ttls can be
- compared to the absolute time, and now-expired items can be dealt with.
-
-later
-- selective verbosity; ubcontrol trace example.com
-- cache fork-dump, pre-load
-- for fwds, send queries to N servers in fwd-list, use first reply.
- document high scalable, high available unbound setup onepager.
-- prefetch DNSKEY when DS in delegation seen (nonCD, underTA).
-- use libevent if available on system by default(?), default outgoing 256to1024
-
-[1] BIND-like query logging to see who's looking up what and when
-[2] more logging about stuff like SERVFAIL and REFUSED responses
-[3] a Makefile that works without gnumake
-
