Thank you very much for responding. Sorry, but I am still confused! The lines I created in unbound.conf are based on what I found here:
http://www.unbound.net/pipermail/unbound-users/2008-October/000272.html That post seems to suggest that the first forward-zone has to have 127.0.0.1 as forward-addr, otherwise ALL queries will be forwarded to the upstream resolvers, not just those for uncached names. However, you seem to be saying that if I delete the first forward-zone, Unbound will still search its cache before forwarding queries to the upstream resolvers. Would you very kindly confirm that I have understood you correctly, please? Thanks again.
