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

This changes the old "diff" algorithm that we needed to have before Unbound was able to reload its own configuration.

Now, it can do this even without dropping the cache. This should hopefully perform much better and be more reliable than the old way.
