## Examples
**change default dns backend to 'unbound':**
<pre><code>
Adblock detects the presence of an active unbound dns backend and the block lists will be automatically pulled in by unbound.
The adblock script deposits the sorted and filtered block lists in '/var/lib/unbound' where unbound can find them in its jail.
If you use manual configuration for unbound, then just include the following line in your 'server:' clause:

**change default dns backend to 'bind':**
<pre><code>
Adblock deposits the sorted and filtered block list (adb_list.overall) in '/var/lib/bind' where bind can find them.
To use the block list please modify the following bind configuration files:
change '/etc/bind/named.conf', in the 'options' namespace add:
response-policy { zone "rpz"; };
and at the end of the file add:
zone "rpz" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.rpz";
allow-query { none; };
allow-transfer { none; };
};
create the new file '/etc/bind/db.rpz' and add:
$TTL 2h
$ORIGIN rpz.
@ SOA localhost. root.localhost. (1 6h 1h 1w 2h)
NS localhost.
$INCLUDE /var/lib/bind/adb_list.overall
