The local_unbound dns service ceases to provide dns entries to the local resolver after some period of time; measured in many hours or days. I have checked the pf firewall logs and that is not blocking any traffic relating to DNS that I can detect. If I re-run local-unbound-setup then local_unbound again resolves. If I restart the local_unbound service then dns resolution again works. I cannot see anything in /var/log/messages that indicate that the unbound service has a problem and the service is indeed running when I encounter the issue. We have many other FreeBSD-11 hosts running local unbound and I have not noticed this issue anywhere else. This is the resolv.conf file # cat /etc/resolv.conf search harte-lyne.ca hamilton.harte-lyne.ca brockley-2016.harte-lyne.ca nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 216.185.71.33 nameserver 216.185.71.34 options edns0 # cat /var/unbound/forward.conf # This file was g!

I just have a script that tests unbound and restarts if necessary run every 15 minutes. Unfortunately I never looked into it further because one I had a working workaround I forgot until this post.
