How to set up unbound on FreeBSD 10

Hi,

as I can see there is a new default dns server shipping with FreeBSD 10:
unbound.

When I try to set it up as described in

http://blog.des.no/2013/09/local-caching-resolver-in-freebsd-10/

by typing

# echo local_unbound_enable=yes >>/etc/rc.conf
# service local_unbound start

I am locked out of my internet connection and nobody is served any dns .
So I guess something must be missing.
For example: Do I have to mount any devfs ?

My machine has got two nics: one unconfigured to dial in to an ADSL
connection via DSL bridge and one with IP 192.168.10.1 to my LAN.

With old named/bind all I need to set is

	named_enable="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf and

        listen-on       { 127.0.0.1;
                          192.168.10.1;};
in /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf



Thanks for your help

Peter
