Hi 

I would very much like to know how you got libunbound working/validation (I presume you mean DNSSEC) ?
did you have to modify only the build or all the crypto calls ?
even just briefly outline what you did ?

including OpenSSL in a build for ldns creates a application that is over 10Mb just for a working resolver...

I have spent the day looking at common crypto from apple thats driving me crazy please help... 

regards

John Jones
