Unbound and loading rpz files with url questions

[George Thessalonikefs]

Hi Mark,

1. This is a hosts file, not a zonefile. It will not be loaded.
    If you want to load that you would need to at least add a SOA record;
    so cron job it is. Do not use the url: directive for this zone.
2. Yes, proper reloading will be done for this.
3. The issue I know of, and is still under investigation, is rpz url
    loading in windows.

Best regards,
-- George
