Hello Paul,

Please don’t forget to CC the development list.

The goal here should be to integrate the patch into the distribution instead of developing any workarounds. Restarting unbound has an impact on its cache and generally is not a useful idea.

Unfortunately the author of the patch has not submitted it to the list, and has also made more changes to the logging system of the script. I have no idea why that would have been necessary.

Could you please remind the author to submit this patch to the list as Adolf has pointed out so that we can work on integrating the changes?

-Michael

This is discussed extensively in https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12694 My only solution is to restart dhcp and unbound; then dhcp table matches unbound table. Many times I have 16 hosts in dhcp but 22 in unbound since unbound keeps that (ip,name) pair forever.
