Well yes, yes it did. I noticed that if I disabled recursion it didn’t make any difference. Restarting the daemon I see: Jan 6 15:23:15 OpenWrt2 named[24658]: resolver priming query complete: timed out Jan 6 15:23:15 OpenWrt2 named[24658]: managed-keys-zone: Unable to fetch DNSKEY set '.': timed out And if I modify isc-dhcp to hand out 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as name servers instead, things don’t work any better, so yeah… looks like a packet loss issue. Which is weird, because when speediest does manage to run, I sometimes see 630/95mbs … other times… 45/19mbs. -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list.
