The following sources.list which I copied from wiki.debian.org/SourcesList works perfectly for me

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware contrib non-free

Thanks to the many responders who coached me through my rambling, incoherent path to this solution.

My apologies to the many responders who I misled with dumb entries.

I hope this ends the search for all.

to 57.128.81.193.  Happens both with Unbound and with 8.8.8.8.
