Zitat von Brian Morrison <[email protected]>:

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.

As far as i understand http://www.unbound.net/documentation/unbound.conf.html only queries which can not be resolved from the *cache* are forwarded, and Unbound does no recursion for the forwarded zones. So with "." as forward-zone: you reduce Unbound to a DNS cache and delegate the recursion to the upstream resolver.

Regards

Andreas
