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?

Hi Michael
When a new system comes into the network via dhcp, unbound is not notified hence name resolution does not work. When a system expires from dhcp, unbound still remembers it. 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.

/etc/init.d/dhcp stop /etc/init.d/dhcp start sleep 2 /etc/init.d/unbound restart
The reason: Until the issues with DHCP and unbound bridge are resolved (and there are many to list here, there are bugs open), I have a small 4 line script that I login to ipfire and execute (restart dhcp and unbound) so that name resolution works. It saves me time from having to pop a term, login to ipfire and exec rst. It would be much easier to do it from the WUI.
What issues with the bridge are you referring to?
Thank you, Paul
oops, my mistake, forgot to cc the Dev list.
I think Adolf in the last post in the bug suggested that the Author sends a patch. I will ping the Author.
