Use Domain Override to have a site resolve with google instead of Unbound?
-
It was set to none and is now, I just turned it on so I could answer your question as to whether my ISP is providing an ipv6 address or not. My pfsense box had never used ipv6 though.

That sure and the hell is not pfsense..
Query your pfsense directly.. You got a caching dnsmasq running on that box.. That is asking what??? Have no idea what its forwarding too..
Do a query to your pfsense directly - with your domain overrides removed!!!
like this..

And did you clear out the domain overrides you were messing with??
Can you talk to their NS directly - you did that previous.. So you got something else going on if you can still talk to them..
Troubleshooting.. What is your unbound log showing you when you up its verbosity? What is simple sniff on your wan showing you when you try and resolve this fqdn? I am having zero issues resolving this domain and that www record.
Its quite possible your having issues talking to their NS via something wrong with your isp, or your path to those networks.. Tracking that down is simple enough..
So what happens when you try and resolve it via pfsense diag, dns lookup?

Yes, I deleted the domain override.

Verb=5 was outputting a ton of stuff and filling up the 500 entries in less than a second.
I thought I'd be clever and clear out the resolver.log file so that I could just post the relevant stuff for you. (Diag>Edit File>Select All>Delete>Save)
Apparently that's not smart to do because now it doesn't put anything in there… :o
I tried restarting Resolver, rebooting, updating to latest BETA build, rm /var/log/resolver.log && touch /var/log/resolver.log
It still isn't logging anything.Way to go me.

Try this at a shell prompt:
rm /var/log/resolver.log
ls -l /var/log

clog -i -s 511488 /var/log/resolver.log

Thanks! That did the trick! I had assumed that they were just ordinary text files but that makes a lot more sense haha.
Strangely enough….. now my DNS query return is different AND www.aviationweather.gov loads immediately with no problems... :o
The only thing I did different than the last post is accidentally screw up my resolver.log and then get it back up with Derelicts instruction.
Why would a log have any effect at all? Assuming it must have been something else but I can't imagine what? I had already restarted Unbound & rebooted the system a couple of times so that wasn't new.

May never know what what going on, since you can not seem to grasp how to do a directed query.. In all the nonsense you posted.. Not one of them was a query to one of the NS authoritative for that domain…
Just like you query @yourpfsenseIP
Do you query direct to one of their NS.. as I did in my example.. And why and the F are you doing a query for "www.aviation.gov"
Glad its working for you - since troubleshooting to where the problem actual is with what your posting would be fruitless..

Eh, yeah. I have literally zero background in IT or anything computer or networking related. If I haven't read it for fun or been told something, I don't know it. So it doesn't surprise me I got it wrong, I do apologize though, I appreciate that you've taken your time out to help me.
I was querying aviationweather.gov because it's the only site that I've ever had trouble with, and the reason I started this thread.
EDIT: reading back I see you mean why i mistyped "aviation.gov" instead of "aviationweather.gov" and posted that output, that was totally unintentional, I was tired!I thought that the following was the Name Server for aviationweather.gov (which is what I assumed you meant by NS?)since it was listed in the return for aviationweather.gov, and start with "ns".
bash@DESKTOP:~$ dig ns-e.noaa.govI don't even know what you mean by this?
Just like you query @yourpfsenseIP
I think the only IP i queried was:
bash@DESKTOP:~$ dig 140.90.33.237Network information
IP address 140.90.33.237
Reverse DNS (PTR record) ns-e.noaa.govIs that what you mean?
I'd be happy to learn if you're willing to educate me, but I also totally understand if you're no longer interested.
Either way, thank you for taking your time and I apologize for the frustration. -
"dig 140.90.33.237"
All that did was query you default dns for that IP..
Thee are 3 NS listed for this domain.. If you want to ask them directly then you would use the @
So
dig @140.90.33.237 then what you want to ask it..

Well that dig command says you could not reach that NS

140.90.101.207Simple solution would be prob to just put in a host override for www.aviationweather.gov to point to the IP 140.90.101.207, while they have a really short ttl 120 seconds, and then 300 seconds for that cname the IP has not changed since this thread has started 140.90.101.207..
edit: BTW I don't see anything in that log for aviationweather.gov
If you queried it directly unbound would not have any knowledge of that or log that..

Yeah it's down for me again. I don't get why I can't get to those DNS servers?

If you can not get to those servers then yeah your not going to be able to resolve records they are authoritative for. And since the ttl they have on them are very short.. This problem is going to come up all the time..
Can you ping them??

No, I cannot ping them.

well that is a bad test - I should of tried pinging them first before suggesting that.. they don't seem to answer ping.. But not having any problems doing dns queries to them..
-
Weird, it's in and out for me. I also have no issues with them when not using the resolver. I'll do the override and deal with it I suppose.
Thank you again for taking your time to help me out!

But you can plainly see using proper DNS diagnostic tools like dig that the problem is not in the resolver, but in the ability to reach their authoritative servers.
Maybe their name servers are overloaded because of the short-ass TTLs they're using.
It used to be bad form to use such short TTLs.
Still is, IMHO, for most anything but DDNS (which could be debated is no solution at all) and in advance of known, pending changes.

I would think such a site gets quite a bit of traffic.. Using 120 second ttl has got to just be crazy for the amount dns queries their servers are taking.. which then points to another cname - that has a ttl of 300.. Really freaking stupid if you ask me!!
And to top it all off that ending IP has not changed..
And then to top of that one of their IPv6 is just down..
Whoever is running their dns seems to be a sleep at the wheel..
You could try sending them a message here
