proposed patch

Rationale.

I am configuring a small LAN -- mostly a gateway / router for it -- and I am
using unbound for a local DNS and isc-dhcp44-server for DHCP.
I have a few hosts with static IP addresses (for various reasons).
So, in unbound.conf I have an entry like
  local-data: "hipster.home.arpa. IN A 192.168.0.222"

and in dhcpd.conf  have:
  host hipster {
    hardware ethernet 40:74:e0:xx:xx:xx;
    fixed-address hipster.home.arpa;
 }

I am using a DNS name to avoid hardcoding the same IP address twice.
But obviously this depends on the local DNS server starting before the HDCP
server if they are on the same host / router.
It seems that at the moment there is nothing to ensure that order.

It's been pointed out that both local_unbound and bind (in the default configuration) start earlier.  local_ubound start even before NETWORKING while bind starts before SERVERS.

I am proposing to change unbound port to do the same thing as bind ports.
START_LATE port option is provided for those who would need to start unbound at its traditional stage.

alternative patch

I have written an alternative patch.
It changes the startup order less drastically, so that unbind starts between SERVERS and DAEMON.  That's enough for my use case.

I am ok with this, but I think it is fixing to narrow a set of cases, specifically only a subset of cases, ie DAEMONs that want to use dns in the configurations.  That set is large enough that this is a productive change.

I still wonder about the base system vs ports being different.  That just rubs me the wrong way.

^Triage: Reporter is committer, assign accordingly.

Why?
I am an src committer and never commit to ports.

I am aware that I *can* do it.  I am just letting you know that I am not doing it.
There is the maintainer who makes a decision if the proposed change is good.
There are port committers who are fluent with committing to ports.
I am just a reporter.

Sure, thing. It was not my intention to annoy or lecture you :-)

Back to the pool.

Given the discussion I'm actually leaning towards using the same ordering as the default in the base (local_unbound).

That has the benefit of the least surprise (I think).

Overtaken by events (newer releases).
