      Go to http://test.dnssec-or-not.org/ and Borat should give you the thumbs up or

      dig @ <ip>edu +dnssec

      Look for the flags section which should contain 'ad' in them. For example:

      ; <<>> DiG 9.6.2-P2 <<>> @192.168.1.14 edu +dnssec
      ; (1 server found)
      ;; global options: +cmd
      ;; Got answer:
      ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 60486

        Hey wagonza,

        thanks for the answer. I now get Borat, so this looks good. Still, I can't resolve my local hostnames as before with dnsmasq.
        What kind of info do you need? It is working with dnsmasq…

        Thanks for your help!

              Here it does NOT run. Say, at http://test.dnssec-or-not.org/ i don't see Borat. I reinstalled unbound, no change.
              Nor local hosts resolve.

              unbound-checkconf shows this:
              unbound-checkconf: no errors in /usr/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf

                Had another problem with the package. Sometimes after the dhcp lease is over, the client doesn't get my pfSense box as a DNS server, but the DNS servers I provided in general settings. Then my clients can't connect to the internet, because dns is not allowed for them, only to the pfSense box. Why do these servers sometimes get pushed to the clients?

                  Updated to version 1.2.2 and still my clients do not get the pfSense LAN ip address as the dns server but the ones configured in general dns settings. Why is that? dnsmasq correctly pushes my pfSense LAN IP to the clients…

                        I updated today pfSense 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Mon Nov 22 02:54:15 EST 2010 and unbound to v 1.22. But no luck:

After starting unbound manually (via console didn't work: unbound-control start, stop or status resulted in nothing. No output nor the program exited. Had to kill it via ctrl-c.
But starting via Webif worked:

But i still don't get Borat, only Picard on the dnssec-test-site. :(

Looks like DNSMasq wasnt shutdown - will have to add some additional safety belts.

What does dig @ <ip>edu +dnssec return? Have a look at the flags section in the returned output it should contain a 'ad' flag.

                              Cool! Waiting for an update then. Until then I'll just use dnsmasq as before…

                                coonection to net works, but resolve still slow then with dnsmasq

                                i think use dnsmasq till get update
                                thanks to provide unbound package

                                    hello wagonza! Hope your vacation was nice and groovy…

                                    I have a little(?) proposal: Could you put the unbound-logs separate? Maybe in that section "package-logs"?
                                    It is logging really lot and so the normal syslog is full of unbound-log-entries, which make it somewhat difficult to find special entries. Say, i have to open a console to view directly at the log. 1000 lines are not enough at the webgui... (Not a big clue, but would make that thing easier.)

                                          Guys I have committed some changes which include Unbound getting its own log file. This will require a recent snapshot (later than Thursday last week) as there were some bugs in package log handling. I have also added some extra 'statistics' options, so that it is up to the user to decide on what he/she wants to see and how often.

                                          I can add debugging verbosity as well if you guys think that would help you?

                                          There is one caveat currently DHCP entries end up in the hosts file and there is a daemon that handles updating /etc/hosts when ever there is a change to the dhcp leases file. This daemon will need to be updated to handle updating unbound. Currently only a re-save on Unbound will re-populate this data.

                                          Lastly, if you make use of DHCP and you assign pfSense as your DNS server (i.e. DNS servers field is left blank) then you will need to specify the IP address of the respective DHCP interface so that existing behaviour is kept. The reason for this is that in the base of pfSense it will automatically assign the Systems: General DNS servers to the dhcp client if DNSMasq is disabled.

                                          So just reinstall and please let me know what else is still not working.

                                            Hey,

                                            great news. I will check it out, soon. What I do not get though is your post I quoted. What does that exactly have to mean? At what times do I have to press save on Unbound tab?
