Unbound 1.6.6 release

[Ralph Dolmans]

Hi Andreas,

The default local-zone type for "localhost." changed from static to
redirect, so that the default local-data applies to both localzone. and
its subdomains.

You can change your local-data domain to localhost., then it will still
be available under monitoring_app_test_if_unbound_is_alive.localhost,
but also for localhost itself.

You can also add a local-zone for
monitoring_app_test_if_unbound_is_alive.localhost with the static type:

local-zone: "monitoring_app_test_if_unbound_is_alive.localhost." static

Regards,
-- Ralph
