I asked because I had read your mail as suggesting you were not
using google on the svn (unbound) build.

The different domain names look odd - all my (home) boxes are in the
same domain and I have not found a reason to set a domain name.
Also, unless you are actually running a nameserver on localhost (or
maybe you have a blacklist in /etc/hosts) I would omit that line.

I agree that google being down is not common. For unbound taking a
long time and then failing to start I have no idea - unless you are
asking for a dhcp address and there is some delay in that. I used
to use dhcp, but now I normally have static addresses on my wired
machines and I don't think I've tried using unbound with dhcp.
