Unbound forwarding mode

« on: September 18, 2020, 02:50:01 pm »

Hi all

If I have 4 different DNS servers set in the General Page, how Unbound uses it ? Does it uses them randomly or send the queries to all at the same time and uses the first answer ?

Cheers

Pretty sure it is a random selection, although I believe I have read that Unbound learns the fastest servers and uses those more often. However, I am not sure that is actually true.

In any case, it definitely doesn't send out to all at once, as DNSMasq does by default. I have not found a parameter that would change this behavior in Unbound.

Yes, it's random, no priorities
