NSD and Unbound have DNSSEC that does not use TLS, so they are not
affected by heartbleed for DNSSEC.

Yes the default is from localhost.  Additionally, nsd-control and
unbound-control require a client certificate.  This seems to stop the
attack (when we tested it).

Unbound's ssl-upstream, ssl-service and unbound-anchor are options and
tools that create TLS connections.  This is vulnerable to heartbleed.
 Unbound-anchor is a client side, short lived process with no secrets,
it makes TLS connections in exceptional circumstances.  ssl-upstream
makes client connections.  Unbound's ssl-service options create a TLS
server, and this is vulnerable.  The public TLS dnssec-trigger server
has had openssl upgraded.

Best regards,
   Wouter
