unbound continually stopping/starting
-
My DNS resolver turned itself off suddenly for no reason so I checked the DNS resolver log and found that unbound seems to be stopping and starting continually.
Is this normal or do I have an issue? I can't see any other issue and it seems to be working after I restarted unbound service.
I do have pfBlocker NG installed but updates are set for 1 hour.Nov 23 15:49:44 unbound 29584:0 info: start of service (unbound 1.9.1).

Check other logs, like DHCP.
And check this :
if this option is checked, then for every new lease, the Resolver will get restarted.
