Hello,

I don't know how long unbound waits for an answer, but I see about 10-30
lines per second per server from this. Do you think it's normal? (there
are about 4k qps currently)

Well, unbound normally sets its smoothed roundtrip time timeout that it
calculated as the time out, and when that timer expires, it closes the
socket.  It can then re-use the socket to open another (random) port to
send the next query on.  This next query could well be the retry for the
just failed one, with exponential backoff on the timer.
I've made a capture and according to that, it was about 150 ms between unbound's query and the response. I think it's pretty normal for nameservers on the other side of the globe.
So, it is normal that some authority servers are slow.  Thus produce
timeouts.  20 / 4000 is 0.5% of cases for you, this looks very
reasonable to me.
Yes, maybe, my problem is that I can see unanswered queries. If I understand it correctly, the above situation should not result in a loss of answer towards the resolver client.

And this is my primary concern, because I don't understand why those queries are left unanswered.

Thanks,
