[Unbound-users] Resource temporarily unavailable and query problem with unbound

[Sebastian Nickel - Hetzner Online AG]

Hello,
we are using unbound in our environment. I recently looked into the
logfile and found many of those lines:

"""
[1289226893] unbound[5117:1] notice: sendmsg failed: Resource
temporarily unavailable
[1289226893] unbound[5117:1] notice: remote address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
port 53588
"""

What is the meaning of those lines? Is there perhaps a performance
issue?


Some infos about unbound (it is the debian squeeze package):

Another problem I have is a "SERVFAIL" with the domain "imgw.pl".

I do this query with dig on our unbound host (with allow_snoop option
set):

$> dig @localhost +trace imgw.pl

and get:
"""

If I drop the "+trace" option I just receive a "SERVFAIL" answer.


If I do this on my local machine (no unbound):

Does anybody know why unbound has problems with this domain?


Thanks for any answers...
