Michael and everyone,

Since I upgraded from CU 176 to CU 177 I haven been seeing lots of Unbound restarts.  I went from less than 5 per week to more than 3500 unbound restarts per week.

It looks like unbound-dhcp-leases-bridge was updated near the same time. And I see the code that was added:
> +	self._control("reload_keep_cache")


Here is the bugzilla report:
https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13254

As Adolf aptly stated:
  [quote="Adolf Belka, post:41, topic:10500, username:bonnietwin"]
    Maybe it is just a natural consequence of the changes that were made to the unbound-dhcp-leases-bridge code.
  [/quote]

So the question is: should I be seeing more than more than 3500 unbound restarts per week.  Or is this a possible bug with unbound?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Jon
