Hi,
    I've been experimenting with getting unbound
to work on my firewall/router.
I've run into a problem I can't figure out.

I've seached google, done "man" on
unbound, unbound.conf, CVS among others
and can't find a clue to send me in the right direction

I'm using OpenBSD 5.2 current from 8-30-2012
for amd64.

I loaded the unbound-1.4.18.tgz package, and
have it set up with no errors in /var/log/daemon
set at verbosity of 3. (all lookups look normal)

All of the workstations in my network use
my firewall/router for their nameserver and work fine.

I first noticed that when I access the CVS server
to upgrade source and ports, I get the following error:

"ssh: Could not resolve hostname anoncvs1.ca.openbsd.org: 
non-recoverable failure in name resolution
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages 
if any)"

I also notice the the "ping" command give me an
"ping: unknown host: xxx.xxx" error.
yet if it's a host that's listed in my hosts file, it
works properly.

However, "nslookup" works properly.

my resolve.conf file:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
lookup file unbound

I have everything set up as far as i can tell to
work from /etc/unbound. 

I'm not sure what files I need to show.

What baffles me is how unbound just doesn't work
for CVS or ping,
yet works perfectly for nslookup and my workstations
are using my firewall/router as their nameserver
and work fine.

For lack of a better guess, it appears that CVS
and ping are not trying to use unbound.
But I don't know why...

I notice if I do a tcpdump when these programs
should be trying to use unbound, I get no recorded
errors or activity in /var/log/daemon, nor do I see any
activity using tcpdump.

yet on ones that use unbound successfully give me
activity in both places.

I figure it's likely something right in front of me that
I'm not seeing, but would appreciate any direction.
                                   Thanks,  Ed
