How long I have to wait until unbound forget the NXDOMAIN

The SOA-Reord for example.org looks like this:
example.org. 12967 IN SOA example.org. hostmaster.example.org. 1501261358 43200 7200 2419200 86400

Up to 86400 seconds, or 24h in this example.

Originally the final parameter in a SOA record was the minimum TTL, and doubled as a default TTL, but it's now used to control the time a NXDOMAIN should be cached, so in your example, it's 24 hours. Note that RFC 2308 actually limits this to 3 hours.

http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/apd/rfc2308.txt has all the details, but http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch8/soa.html gives a quick overview.

I don't believe unbound can control how long a negative cache record lasts, only the neg-cache-size (in bytes), but I believe that this will still respect cache-max-ttl as well.
