[Unbound-users] get ttl in libunbound?

Hi all,

I'd like to get the TTL value for a DNS request. I looked at what it
would take to add this to struct ub_result and it doesn't look too
difficult - patch attached.

Is this the right approach? Or should I use ldns to parse the raw
packet bytes to get the ttl?

Thanks,
David
