Hi,

We (SIDN Labs) experimented with this a while ago and managed to turn
LDNS into a 'universal library' for iOS:

The blog about this, including some source-code, can be found here (but
it is in Dutch, unfortunately):

http://www.sidnlabs.nl/laatste-berichten/nieuwsdetail/article/ldns-als-ios-universal-library/

We also manged to get LibUnbound working on an iPhone and where able to
do validation. However, the blog-post of that endeavour is still in the
making.

Regards,
