Dns query failure

unbound gives the following error:
error: SERVFAIL : all servers for this domain are down, no server to query at zone crypmoney.de. from 81.91.164.5 Nameserver addresses not usable

but this page reports a positive result:
https://dnschecker.org/#A/crypmoney.de.

why these different results?
Could something be changed?

unbound is running in recursor mode.

Maybe check if your system clock set to the right time? If the clock is off it could cause problems for unbound.

Date and time same Radio clock

For further troubleshooting, I would log onto the console or ssh to the machine and take a look at /var/log/messages.

Find the exact time that the errors first started occurring and see if there was something prior to that going on in the system that looks suspicious or may be related to the problem.

What core update are you running?

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The DROP messages are normal and just indicate that your firewall is working and blocking traffic. You can filter them out and ignore them.

Here is an example of that kind of filtering:

Count the number of lines in /var/log/messages:

[root@zone3 log]# wc -l messages
30515 messages

Use grep to filter out the DROP messages and write to another file:

[root@zone3 log]# grep -v DROP messages > messages.nodrop

Count the number of lines in the new file:

[root@zone3 log]# wc -l messages.nodrop 
27395 messages.nodrop

From the example you can see about 3000 DROP messages got filtered out. FYI, if you’re using blocklists, you can also filter out and ignore BLKLST messages.

[root@zone3 log]# grep -v BLKLST messages.nodrop > messages.nodrop.noblklst
[root@zone3 log]# wc -l messages.nodrop.noblklst 
23527 messages.nodrop.noblklst

On my system with those two steps I filter out 7000 messages.

Now you can continue looking at filtered messages.nodrop (or messages.nodrop.noblklst) file for clues when the issue with unbound started.

Thank you for your time and your explanations.

My question has not yet been answered.
Why does Unbound deliver incorrect DNS results?
DNSSEC is active.

This might help others answer your question. . .

@jon, that was a good ask.

@yoni-priester , from your screenshot, you don’t have any DNS servers selected. Use ISP DNS servers is not selected and none of the 1’s or 8’s DNS servers that you’ve added are selected.

to the best of my knowledge, i do not need to add a dns server in the current recursor mode.
only in forward mode.
but this is currently not active.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

@yoni-priester Sorry, I missed the green Working (Recursor Mode) at the top of your screenshot. I put my own firewall into Recursor Mode with a ‘tail -f /var/log/messages | grep unbound’ as a test and saw no issues. I’m not sure how to help troubleshoot this further. Maybe someone else has some ideas where to look…

Could this be a UDP issue?
Perhaps TCP would be better?
Grasping at straws here.
