Unbound Srvfail cache

Hi Mahdi,

Unbound only probes every 15 minutes (infra-ttl) to see if servers are
back up.  You could lower infra-ttl in your config.

Also, you could update, 1.4.20 is from 2012.  Perhaps the newer version
does not have this issue in this manner.

You can also flush the infra cache, with unbound-control flush_infra
all, that way you don't lose the DNS cache.

Best regards, Wouter
