What forwarders use standard unbound installation?

2019-04-18 Thread Roderick



I configured long ago a computer to use unbound for caching. The
standard way. But I did not give it a forwarder and I do not find
a list of the ones being used.

In /var/unbound.conf I see a commented list of DNS servers. But
where is the list it is really using?

Any hint?

If no explicit forrwarders are defined, ubound (like any recursive
resolver) consults the root zone servers and follows delegations. In
other wordt, it consults the authorative servers for zones to resolve
names in those zones.
