Quoting Trent W. Buck (trentbuck@gmail.com):
Do you have a salespitch for why one should switch a typical SOHO OpenWRT install from dnsmasq to unbound?
If I had a whole lot of time, I'd be glad to investigate the problems you recount. If you have an OpenWRT device with sufficient RAM (always a concern), one option is to run on it both a general-purpose recursive nameserver (such as Unbound) and the forwarding caching nameserver of your choice (such as Dnsmasq). Query path would be client software to Dnsmasq to Unbound to Internet, with the forwarding caching nameserver continuing to handle the LAN domain and forwarding everything else to Unbound. But I don't have time to work out implementation details.
