[Unbound-users] Unbound answering SERVFAIL

Hello,

I'm currently doing some testing on DNS. Thus my configuration is perhaps
singular.

I've an authoritative server set-up and working. This server zone is called
"test.".
I've tried to set up a caching server on another server with Unbound 1.2.1.
This two servers are connected each other through a crossover cable and not
connected to the Internet.

When I try to do a dig from a client (directly connected to the caching
server and not connected to the Internet) I get a SERVFAIL back. I must say
that with BIND instead of Unbound and without any other changes to the
configuration it was fully working.

To have a better understanding of following files:
- 192.168.1.1 is the client
- 192.168.1.2 is the caching server on the client side
- 192.168.2.1 is the caching server on the authoritative server side
- 192.168.2.2 is the authoritative server

Content of unbound.conf:

server:
        root-hints: "/root/conf/cache/db.root"
        do-ip6: no
        username: ""
        verbosity: 3
        logfile: ""
        chroot: ""
        module-config: "iterator"
        access-control: 0.0.0.0/0 allow
        port: 53
        interface: 192.168.1.2
        interface: 192.168.3.2
        outgoing-interface: 192.168.2.1


Content of db.root:
