Thanks Tim. Yes, I’m running unbound on the server configured to cache directly 
from the root DNS servers. It’s worked without issue until just a few days ago. 
I’ve refreshed the root hints file and restarted the service. It seems better 
at the moment… and throughput seems to have improved as well. I’ll continue to 
monitor and see if there are any other things that need to be adjusted with my 
unbound conf. 

I appreciate your help!
