Hi Artis,

Thanks for the reply.

That's pretty much the setup I have. Have just upgraded to 1.4.0, have a
stateless firewall ruleset for all port 53 traffic, have set the maxsockbuf
to 4194304 and have so-rcvbuf set to 4m in unbound.conf

Will do some tests and see what the performance is like.

Cheers
