dhcpleased, unwind and resolvd

dhcpleased is a new daemon in OpenBSD that will dynamically configure the client network. It monitors network interfaces for IP address proposals from DHCP, IPv6 router advertisements to configure the network and then sets the resolv.conf. unwind is a validating DNS resolver that runs on the client machine. resolvd handles the contents of /etc/resolv.conf. The 3 deamons effectively replace my dhclient and unbound set up and make the life much easier. For more details on the advantages of these daemons and what problem they solve, please read the man pages and reference links. Here I will give the configuration. Configuration We will first create a blocklist file that dictates which domains should be blocked by unwind.
