Only one domain failing to resolve (resolved)

Thanks for the reply George.
This issue has resolve by it self (pun intended) without me having changed
anything on my end. It was an upstream issue.

Some interesting information I'll share for posterity:
Cloudflare would also not resolve the domain in question (
twitterdatadash.com). Even on my cellular device which is on a completely
separate network as the unbound instance (although it would resolve using
my providers default DNS).
I sent Cloudflare a DM on twitter about the issue including /cdn-cgi/trace
information and the message appeared to have been read.
A few days later I checked the resolution of the domain using Cloudflare
DNS and it succeeded.
I then reconfigured my unbound instance to work recursively and the domain
correctly resolves.
My root.hints file remained unchanged since 12th May.

Thanks All,
BangDroid
