Hi Peter,

ACL (also) comes before NOTIFY processing.
Make sure that the nameserver addresses are not denied (the default) by Unbound.

Something like:
    server:
        access-control: <IP address> allow

or
    server:
        access-control: <IP address> refuse_non_local

should work.
The latter will make sure to not allow recursion for the <IP address>.

Best regards,

Hi All,

I'm running unbound 1.16.3 as included in OpenBSD 7.2, and wanted to cache
a public zone on it.  It is a caching resolver for a busy[1] website and
since I use lots of dns entries in my configuration I want to have a
local copy of the zone already in the cache.

I added this stanza to my working configuration:

auth-zone:
     name: "example.com"
     primary: "ns.example.org"
#    allow-notify: "ns.example.org"
     fallback-enabled: yes
     for-downstream: no
     for-upstream: yes

and configured my primary auth server to allow AXFR and send NOTIFYs to
this system.  When I start unbound, it does an AXFR properly so it has
the data.  However, when i send a NOTIFY I immediately get back a
rejected message.  I've verified that the IP addresses are correct, and
even though it should automatically allow the primary to send notifies
I've tried with manually added allow-notify entries for both the
dual-stack hostname and for the raw IP address of the sending server.

Am I holding it wrong?
