Sohka via Unbound-users:
I would like to configure Unbound as a DNS forwarder with Quad9 as the
upstream recursive resolver.
I read in their best practices document that the qname-minimization
option should be disabled as it significantly reduces performance.
https://docs.quad9.net/Quad9_For_Organizations/DNS_Forwarder_Best_Practices/#__tabbed_3_3
Hello,
well, qname-minimization limit "root's" knowlege that a client is
interestes in foobar.mumble.example.org.
because the root nameserver can only answer "ask .org".
But if you forward any queries to one destination anyway, I see no
value for qname-minimization.
So, yes quad9's suggestion sounds right to me.
