Hello All,
I am exploring the outbound-msg-retry feature, here are my setup details:
*Machine#1*: running unbound application and used as client machine used
for dig queries
*Machine#2*: where named running and are having records. kept as *forward-addr:
10.0.0.240 *in conf
Here is my *unbound.conf:*
# The number of retries when a non-positive response is received.
*outbound-msg-retry: 5*
*forward-zone:*
name: "."
*forward-addr: 10.0.0.240*
# forward-addr: 192.0.2.73@5355 # forward to port 5355.
# forward-first: no
# forward-tcp-upstream: no
# forward-tls-upstream: no
# forward-no-cache: no
# forward-zone:
# name: "example.org"
# forward-host: fwd.example.com
*here is how I tested:*
on machine#1 ran command *#*dig @127.0.0.1 mx.dnstest.com MX
My expectation is I should see 5 outgoing queries from Machine#1 to
Machine#2 as Machine#2 send Serve fail as a response
*Test Result*:
I see more than 5 outgoing msgs/queries (I see 9 msgs/queries) on Machine#1
This behavior I am not able to understand with definition. I expect only 5
msgs to Machine#2
outbound-msg-retry: *<number>*
The number of retries Unbound will do in case of a non positive
response is received. If a forward nameserver is used, this is the
number of retries per forward nameserver in case of throwaway re-
sponse.
Thanks,
Ashok
