Hi Zbynek,

Can you try with the svn trunk r2107?  I have made a bugfix which may
help, it stops unbound from disabling its dnssec expectation after it
has seen a response fail without rrsigs.  This could turn into a long
causation chain: dnssec expectation lost, therefore EDNS backoff
possible (with timeouts happening), therefore EDNS backoff stored in
cache, stopping it from sending DO bits (and a bug fixed in r2106 where
this fact got 'stuck' into the cache).

After discussion with my colleague I think this fix may help... The
evidence you kindly provided supports the hypothesis and this fix should
stop it from failing continuously (but a single query still fails).

Also, I believe there to be some trouble with your setup, which is
causing unbound to have slower turnaround; can you email me (offlist if
you want) your configuration (unbound.conf and what is your ulimit(open
files) for unbound, did you compile with libevent) ?  I think this
slower turnaround exists because you have that failing query.

Best regards,
   Wouter
