[Unbound-users] Distinguishing client queries vs. internal sub-queries

[Stephane LAPIE]

Hello,

I happen to need about the same kind of processing :
ignore all sub queries and only care about ones emitted by a client,
and about responses to a client.

From my own experience,
the simplest way to tell them apart from inside a module,
is that a sub query will not have a client IP address.

Cheers,
