After testing unbound for a couple days I really like how simple it is to use as a caching server.
My main reason for trying unbound was the min-cache-ttl After testing unbound on 4 caching servers for a few days there are a few things you could add to unbound that could really make it perfect. 1. There really needs to be a min-neg-cache-ttl which overrides the min-cache-ttl for non-existent domains 2. I agree with Jiri unbound needs an acl type for only non recursive (cache or local lookups) (http://unbound.net/pipermail/unbound-users/2014-February/003181.html) a. Our reason for this, is to restrict recursion loops in any fabric forward first configuration (which works ok with bind) i. Check localhost for cache if not found ii. Check forward hosts (cache / local) for entry if not found iii. Do local root lookup locally to go onto the internet and find the answer. Id be happy to help test these features if these are something that can be implemented. If you know of a way to accomplish these things in the unbound in its current form please let me know! Keep up the good work! -Jim
