This pull request is one of a series of three I created after chasing some dns issues (e.g. here and here but there are more reports of dns issues on github and on the forum)

  1. (Fixes to DNS lookups #2191) Basic changes
  2. (Change DNS lookup timeout handling #2192) Changes to dns request timeout handling
  3. Replace bind9 with unbound

This pull request can be used separate from the other two (#2191 and #2192). It replaces the bind9 dns resolver with the unbound dns resolver. Reasons: Mail-in-a-Box only uses the recursive part of bind9. Thus replacing with unbound makes for a simpler installation and configuration. It is also a good companion to nsd which is for authorative DNS only.

Although I agree with the idea, this is too significant of a change to go out so soon after a major update. We'll be in bug-fix-only mode for a while.
