[Unbound-users] Resolving Timeouts/Issues

[Dave Ellis]

Hey Wouter,

The timeouts happen as before, except less often and usually after a
single timeout it'll resolve the host correctly when retrying the 2nd
time. Either way, everything is quite a bit better. 

After about 3 minutes from startup the timeouts start. I did notice any
domain in the cache resolves right away, but if unbound has to query
another NS server it times out.

Thanks!

Here is my current running config. 

/usr/local/etc/unbound# cat unbound.conf 
       # unbound.conf(5) config file for unbound(8).
       server:
	directory: "/usr/local/etc/unbound" 
	username: unbound   # make sure it can write to pidfile.
	chroot: "/usr/local/etc/unbound"
	logfile: "/usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.log"  #uncomment to use
logfile.
	pidfile: "/usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.pid"
	interface: 0.0.0.0
	access-control: 0.0.0.0/0 allow
	root-hints: "/usr/local/etc/unbound/named.cache"
	do-ip6: no
	outgoing-num-tcp: 30
	incoming-num-tcp: 30
	outgoing-range: 900
	rrset-cache-size: 1024m
	msg-cache-size: 512m	
	msg-cache-slabs: 8
	#statistics-interval: 30
	num-threads: 8

And the output of the log when the service is stopped.
