+DNSSEC Validation options.
+EDNS0, NSEC3, Unknown-RR-types.
+
+
+Details
+-------
+Processing support
+RFC 1034-1035: as a recursive, caching server. Not authoritative.
+  including CNAMEs, referrals, wildcards, classes, ...
+RFC 4033-4035: as a validating caching server (unbound daemon). 
+  as a validating stub (libunbound).
+RFC 1918.
+RFC 2181: completely, including the trust model, keeping rrsets together.
+RFC 2672: DNAME support.
+RFC 3597: Unknown RR type support.
+EDNS0 support, default advertisement 4Kb size. 
+RFC 5155: NSEC3, NSEC3PARAM types
+AAAA type. and IP6 dual stack support.
+type ANY queries are supported.
+RFC 2308: TTL directive, and the rest of the RFC too.
+
+RFC 1995, 1996, 2136: not authoritative, so no AXFR, IXFR, NOTIFY or
+  dynamic update services are appropriate.
+
+chroot and drop-root-privileges support, default enabled in config file.
+
+AD bit in query can be used to request AD bit in response (w/o using DO bit).
+CD bit in query can be used to request bogus data.
+UDP and TCP service is provided downstream.
+UDP and TCP are used to request from upstream servers.
+Multiple queries can be made over a TCP stream.
+
+No TSIG support at this time.
+No SIG0 support at this time.
+No dTLS support at this time.
+This is not a DNS statistics package, but some operationally useful
+values are provided.
+TXT RRs from the Chaos class (id.server, hostname.bind, ...) supported.
+
+draft-forgery-resilience: all recommendations followed.
+draft-0x20: experimental implementation (incomplete).
+  implements bitwise echo of the query to support downstream 0x20.
+draft-ietf-dnsop-default-local-zones is fully supported (-04).
+  It is possible to block zones or return an address for localhost.
+  This is a very limited authoritative service. Defaults as in draft.
+draft-ietf-dnsop-resolver-priming(-00): can prime and can fallback to 
+  a safety belt list.
+draft-ietf-dnsop-dnssec-trust-anchor(-01): DS records can be configured 
+  as trust anchors. Also DNSKEYs are allowed, by the way.
+draft-ietf-dnsop-reflectors-are-evil: access control list for recursive
+  service. In fact for all DNS service so cache snooping is halted.
+
+Record type syntax support, extensive, from lib ldns.
+For these types only syntax and parsing support is needed.
+RFC 1034-1035: basic RR types.
+RFC 1183: RP, AFSDB, X25, ISDN, RT
