DNS Resolver not caching correct?

@johnpoz 1000 is very long. Usualle my sites load instant. I have around 7 ms to google.de (Germany).

@mrsunfire said in DNS Resolver not caching correct?:
I have around 7 ms to google.de (Germany).
The amount of time to ping site has ZERO to do with how fast it loads in your browser -- sorry but site pull up in your browser is not freaking loading in .007 seconds..
Keep in mind that once I site is loaded once - much of it could be cached by your browser as well, etc.
1000 ms to RESOLVE something where the authoritative ns for that domain could be on the other side of the planet is not a LONG time ;)
Your in DE? That is a long way from Utah in the US which is where those NS seem to be.. And that is just those.. that is not the others in the chain..
Do you actually understand how something is resolved?
Even if you had .com NS cached, you still had to go ask them... And how far away are they from you for the NS for whatever.com etc. Then you had to go ask the NS for whatever.com for www.whatever.com, which is then a cname for whatever.com so you then had to do another query, etc. Which if your in DE, and the NS are in Utah.. that going to be a tad higher than 7ms away ;)
Do a dig +trace for that whatever.com to see how you get to it, and how fast the authoritative NS can answer you, etc.

Yes it gets more clear for me now, thanks.

Why? Does unbound cached more used names longer?
Why stopped unbound this night? Has it something to do with pfblockerNG-devel?

So sure if the authoritative NS or any of those others in the path are on the other side of the planet it might take a second... Doesnt matter in the big picture - its only once and after that its direct to the authoritative ns for the domain vs going all the way down from the root .

(ns6218.hostgator.com) in 184 ms
So you see the authoritative ns are that far away from you - lot farther than 7ms ;)
At any given time you might of talked to something in the path that took longer than normal, maybe something in path was congested, maybe the ns took longer to answer, etc.
But that is how something is resolved - when none of it is cached.. now the once the ns for .com are cached no reason to ask roots for those, once the ns for whatever.com is cached no reason to talk to the gtld-servers.net ns - so you can just go ask the authoritative NS directly - but since its a lot farther than 7ms away from you - there can be delays... But in the big picture makes no matter. Since its only going to be once, and then its cached for the length of the TTL, and if you have prefetch setup and or zero answer - you will get an answer from unbound instantly and it will go refresh its stuff in the background..
So what does it matter if took 1000ms - that is not even going to be really noticed since I doubt a site couple hundred ms away from you is going to load instantly anyway.. Worse case you added a whole second to the page load time (ONCE)
There is little need of concerning your self if a site resolves in 30ms or 300ms, or even 1000ms.. Since once its cached - none of that matters any more. And in the big picture a fraction of a second in addition to the overall first load time of the page is meaningless.

Hi johnpoz,
could you post your DNS Resolver, General Settings and Advanced Settings please.
It would be very handy for us all!
Thanks, Perlen
-
Sure here you go
Notice that I have disabled automatic ACLs so you will have to create your own to allow queries.
I have also changed from transparent to static for my zone.. Make sure you actually understand what settings do before changing them.. Any questions on what anything specifically does, just ask. Don't think this is some sort of guide to how you should set yours up.. These are my settings for my network and use case.. Most of them are just default.. Only a couple of changes really from out of the box settings. Which may or may not be good for your actual needs.
Generally speaking - out of the box should be fine for pretty much everyone.
As to the general settings - there are no dns set other than local... Here
-
Very interesting, much appreciated. Thanks!
-
For info: this is the result of cacheoutput after two days and I'm happy with it:
total.num.queries=21177 total.num.queries_ip_ratelimited=0 total.num.cachehits=15554 total.num.cachemiss=5623 total.num.prefetch=8627 total.num.zero_ttl=9232 total.num.recursivereplies=5623Thanks a lot @johnpoz !
-
@mrsunfire said in DNS Resolver not caching correct?:
total.num.zero_ttl=9232
that seems like a lot of low TTLs - you might want to play with uping the min vs letting them set like 60 seconds and 5 min ttls
-
So with what should I start? And what does this change? Isn't this dangerous?
-
In the advanced tab change the min ttl to say 1800 or 3600 vs letting them set such low ttls.. Could it cause issues - maybe. But I doubt it really..
Lets say you had something that was using a 60 second TTL, do the IPs even change - I had issue with some software where it checked a fqdn all the time, and the ttl was 60 seconds.. But upon check it multiple times the IP wasn't even changing - so what is the F'ing point of having dns query for it every 60 seconds.
Then you have them doing load balancing nonsense via dns
example
;scribe.logs.roku.com. IN A;; ANSWER SECTION:
scribe.logs.roku.com. 60 IN A 52.21.150.70
scribe.logs.roku.com. 60 IN A 35.172.120.217
scribe.logs.roku.com. 60 IN A 34.233.159.203
scribe.logs.roku.com. 60 IN A 35.170.206.212
scribe.logs.roku.com. 60 IN A 52.200.248.59
scribe.logs.roku.com. 60 IN A 52.1.249.132
scribe.logs.roku.com. 60 IN A 34.226.55.236
scribe.logs.roku.com. 60 IN A 52.21.44.213So while you might use 52.21.150.70 one time, next time is 25.172.120.217, etc. Only issue you could have is that 52.21.150.170 no longer works.
Have really never seen it be an issue.. But I wouldn't suggest you set the min to like 24 hours or anything.. If you find your having an issue getting somewhere, you can always just flush that specific entry from your cache.
This should lower the amount of both local queries and external queries.. Since now vs your local client asking for something every min with such a low ttl, it would only need to query 1 an hour for example.. Same goes for external queries. If your local device is not using a local cache - doesn't really matter what the ttl is for local queries - but would keep your dns from having to resolve it every freaking 60 seconds because some dumb iot device keeps asking for it every 30 freaking seconds, etc. because it has no local cache.
But hey if you got some local devices asking for whatever.something.tld every minute - you just got a 60x reduction in the number of external queries you have to do ;) if you change the min ttl to 1 hour. Multiply that by a few devices and few different fqdn being queried and in the course of 24 you could be doing 10s of 1000's of less queries.. Again prob not all that big of deal in the big picture.. But why do them if you don't really need to, etc.

I don't know if I should play around with that because everything runs fast and good for now. But I see if my WAN goes down unbound restarts. Any chance to disable this function and keep it running?
-
@mrsunfire said in DNS Resolver not caching correct?:

It's possible that the restart of unbound wasn't needed. If the WAN IP stays the same, then maybe yes, it might not be needed.
I guess you should investigate why the WAN NIC goes down ? Missing an UPS ? Then add one.There are many reasons that a WAN interface change has more effect, and then unbound should restart.
Loadbalancing. VPN usage (the tunnel is rebuild, and unbound should use the tunnel), etc.However : there is no GUI setting that let you choose what to restart, or not.
Just stop ripping out the cable, or have people play with the power plug, and you'll be fine. -
The IP stays the same. I use cable and the inhouse coax is getting renewed. The old one sometimes has ingress and the connection goes down shortly. I have to say that pfSense then switches to my failover WAN2.
Any chance to disable unbound restart?
-
Do you mean your upstream WAN Ethernet goes really down ? The upstream device resets ?
It's a cable modem - your mentioned 'coax' ?@mrsunfire said in DNS Resolver not caching correct?:

Not without you actually changing the code.
Btw : the monitoring process will also reset the interface if the upstream gateway becomes unreachable. You could change these settings.
-
Yes the cable modem loses connection to the upstream gateway of my ISP. Then a gateway alarm appears and it switches to my WAN2.
-
@mrsunfire said in DNS Resolver not caching correct?:

Ok. Pretty good reason to inform unbound about that event ^^
-
Sure but why is it clearing the cache? An option to prevent that would be nice.
