Hi nusenu, I've always had a steady growth in the request list I always thought that it is normal. I'm not 100% sure but unbound tries again later to get an answer for the requests in the list but backs-off asking the servers with longer intervals over time. y=you can use "unbound-control dump_requestlist" to so see what is currently in the list. Most likely you will see *.in-addr.arpa. queries and others that will never be answered. If you want to you can flush them with "unbound-control flush_requestlist".
I use the munin plugin too :) https://dns.seby.io/stats.html <https://dns.seby.io/stats.html> Regards, Sebastian > On 23 Sep 2018, at 8:25 pm, nusenu via Unbound-users > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I upgraded recently from 1.7.3 to 1.8.0, since then I'm observing a constant > and steady growth of the requestlist queue.
