<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">I noticed that Unbound will not start if Redis cache is configured but unreachable, can anyone elaborate on the design choice behind this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Also, I’ve noticed that when the cache connection is refused, Unbound works just fine querying the root servers and returning the answer, however if the connection timeout, aka
Redis server shutdown, all queries timeout rendering my DNS useless.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
