Re: Long delays restarting unbound if Red is down

Hi Tom,

the script is usually quite fast when it can reach the DNS servers.

If it can’t it is waiting quite long and runs into a timeout.

Is there a reason why it cannot reach the DNS servers? It should be able to or you should not have functioning DNS.

Last night we were fighting with a router that had a non-functioning red interface. It ended up being a misconfiguration on our part, but while we were troubleshooting, we routinely had to wait for very long periods as unbound failed to contact the defined name servers.

Is there a way to make the startup script time out more quickly when things are not functioning?
