[Unbound-users] Requestlist filling ? automatic cleanup ?

[Thomas]

Hi,

I don't really understand how the request list flush old and often wrong 
queries from the request list. It is said in the man. that 
jostle-timeout is triggered when the server is very busy. What defines 
'busy' ?

For instance we have often a lot of crappy queries towards 
groupinfra.com (see attachment for a dump_requeslist|grep groupinfra) 
and they seem to never go away and fill our request list by more than a 
half (e.g: 195/375). Could that impact unbound reactivity ?

Note: jostle-timeout is still set to the default (see my config below).

I am asking that because sometimes our unbounds have a random hiccup and 
I am wondering if it could be due to this or not. The 'hiccup' is very 
hard to debug because it's random (once a month or so) on servers doing 
something like 500 to 1500 qps each so increasing the verbosity from 1 
to 2 is not really possible :)

Cheers,
Thomas
