Prefetch threshold

[Drew Rampulla (drampull)]

This is the perfect feature for me.  Do you know what the release schedule looks like for Unbound 1.6?  I see it is in RC now, but was looking for an idea on official release of 1.6.

    Hi Andrew,
    
    So, you would like to serve expired data (with TTL 0) and use
    prefetching to renew data before it expires? That is exactly what the
    serve-expired option does.
    
    This option is available in Unbound 1.6.0.
