It is trying to resolve the name a.root-servers.net, but that IP address
is for f.gtld-servers.net.

If you really want to debug this, use dig.
$ dig @192.35.51.30 a.root-servers.net.
works fine for me.

Do you have special configuration for com or net?  Normally unbound
would ask a-m.gtld-servers.net for the answer if f.gtld-servers.net does
not answer immediately.

If all the servers for .net do not respond (once an hour) this explains
your graph with lots of spikes, and you have a more serious (network)
problem.

Best regards,
