Hi list,

I'm looking to implement with Unbound something similar to OpenDNS's
debug.opendns.com TXT record.

It's a programmatic response to a query that responds with debug meta data,
e.g.:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;debug.opendns.com. IN TXT

;; ANSWER SECTION:
debug.opendns.com. 0 IN TXT "server 5.fra"
debug.opendns.com. 0 IN TXT "flags 20 0 2cc
d00d82040001401"
debug.opendns.com. 0 IN TXT "id 381599"
debug.opendns.com. 0 IN TXT "source 217.254.45.71:14830"
debug.opendns.com. 0 IN TXT "dnscrypt enabled
(7136666E76576A42)"

Has anyone done something like this? Is it possible to do with libunbound?

Best regards,
Maciej Soltysiak

Sigh.
Most existing DNS implementations use records in the CHAOS class for this.
There's even an RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4892
