[Unbound-users] Unbound stops answering after ADSL-line bounce

[Mark Picone]

Hi All,

Continuing from: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.dns.unbound.user/1976

Does anyone know if cause/fix for this behaviour was ever discovered?

I considered playing with the 'infra-host-ttl' setting but we have seen outages of 10 hours+ (with unbound returning NXDOMAIN for all forwarded queries until it is restarted) so I don't think lowering from the default of 900 seconds would help in our case.

I am fairly confident the problem is unbound related as we have BIND resolvers running side-by-side and they have not skipped a beat, over many years.

For now we'll be moving back to BIND (9.8.0b1+, which has the static-stub zone type we need) but I would like to try unbound again at some point in the future.

Nagios check graphs which show the resolvability of 'google.com':
