You'll have to use libevent or something similiar - libevent supposedly
compiles on solaris, maybe you should give it a try.

you could increase msg/rr cache sizes, that would use more ram, but the
performance gain is probably negligible. What are the stats during
normal three-server operation? How many queries per second? For a rough
estimate, you could look at the network interfaces pps averages for the
the caching nameservers. If you don't collect stats yet, you should
definitively start to do so - have a look at munin & the munin unbound
plugin (in the contrib directory).

Kind regards,

Felix
