Simple python script that reloads forwarded zones in Unbound
Needed a method for reloading many configured forward zones in Unbound without any disruption to the running service.
This script was created to be run by a configuration management tool such as Puppet (see example.pp). The idea is that every time Puppet changes the list of forwarded domains it also reloads the list of forwarded domains by first adding new ones and then removing old ones.
It can also be run interactively for manual reload and or testing purposes. For convenience it prints the added and removed zones to standard out.
