What’s the use-case for pihole and unbound together?
Aren’t they both DNS servers?

Pi-hole forwards the requests to another DNS server. Unbound can ask the root servers and go down the DNS chain.

Guess I’m not following, both still have to request from other DNS servers, so what does unbound add?

Copy-pate from here.
Basically, it remove one middle man from the DNS resolving.

Cool, thanks for the clarification. This is good info to have in here in general.
