Aha!  So my old (i think from nsd2 days) script -- that did rebuild,
reload and notify -- is not obsolete too, it can be reduced to just
rebuild & reload.  That's excellent to know, thank you!

(On an related note, I think I asked this question myself -- is there
a way to send a notify to _unbound_ daemon too? :)

Yes, 50 sockets should be plenty even for largeish sites.  Thank
you very much!
