Thanks Ralph, this makes a lot more sense now and it's exactly
what's going on: the infrastructure cache causes unbound to skip the
previously unreachable forwarder (this is on a laptop which
sometimes loses signal…), and now I set infra-host-ttl to a low
value and hope to have this fix things.

Take care, and good luck starting into the new year, everyone!
