Looking at /var/log/messages I saw this (3 days ago),
has anyone seen that before ?

i can here not really help but i have about your settings a question. Maybe this leads to something good?
While setup your ipfire you already gave a host/dom name. Why you have here added again? Does anything change if you deactivate your ipfire entry here?

I am not sure why you are encountering what you are. However I can confirm that I don’t see any messages like that in my production or vm development IPFire machines.
I tried searching on the error code number but unbound-control has an error number of 0 when everything works well and 1 when any error occurs.
All the IP’s showing a problem are from the dhcp dynamic range. The earliest ones had no additional info after the error code: 1: entry but the latest ones you show have error code: 1: b’’ but I haven’t been able to find anything when searching for that either.
Do any of those entries giving a problem appear in /etc/unbound/hosts.conf/
Do any of the hostnames for those clients having a problem have peculiar characters in their hostnames such as spaces.
So T5600.lan in the above presumably means that T5600 is the hostname for that client . Is T5600 the complete hostname or did something get cut off due to a space or unusual character.
I’m stumped as well …
I rebooted my ipfire, I still see those errors.
I turned OFF my ipfire, let the electrons die, then powered up. Still, same errors.
My thought is take a backup, re-install ipfire, reconfigure it, and restore from backup.
I only have 2 static hosts, (ipfire 10.0.0.1 and pve5 10.0.0.5) but if I cat the file, line 1 is repeated as line 5, line 3 I have no idea where it came from (none of my network uses 192.168.*) so something is out of whack. Tried to flush everything in unbound, was not successful.
