Hello list!

Does anybody have any ideas about my constant cache hit ratio?
If it is of any help, here's my server section of unbound.conf for
inspection if anybody finds anything obvious.
It's a 512MB VM with 1 core.

server:
    do-not-query-localhost: no
    verbosity: 1
    do-ip6: yes
    prefetch: yes
    msg-cache-size: 24m
    rrset-cache-size: 24m
    key-cache-size: 24m
    infra-cache-numhosts: 40000
    num-threads: 1
    msg-cache-slabs: 1
    rrset-cache-slabs: 1
    infra-cache-slabs: 1
    key-cache-slabs: 1
    interface: 10.8.0.1
    interface: ::1
    interface: 127.0.0.1
#    statistics-interval: 0
    extended-statistics: yes
    statistics-cumulative: no
    access-control: 10.8.0.0/24 allow
    access-control: 127.0.0.1 allow
    access-control: A.B.C.D allow
    access-control: ::1 allow
    # The following line will configure unbound to perform cryptographic
    # DNSSEC validation using the root trust anchor.
    auto-trust-anchor-file: "/var/lib/unbound/root.key"

Best regards,
