have a look at http://git.xelerance.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ldnsx.git;a=summary

If there is functionality you need exposed, Chris will be able to implement them for you.

I know he has usage cases where he sets TCP specifically. Though then you're not using unbound
(or its cache), as the client cannot tell the server how it should fetch results. And even if
we'd add such a flag, how would you deal with cached data?

If you are trying to figure out TCP or EDNS connectivity, you cannot really go through an
intermediate resolver (unless you're just testing this specific last mile resolver)

If you can tell us a bit more, perhaps we can help you, as we're doing similar things with
ldnsx on top of ldns-python.
