Re: DNSSEC/unbound -> boingboing.net failures

Hi Matt,

the SERVFAIL is probably not caused by DNSSEC because the zone is not
signed. The problem is that the zone is broken. There is a CNAME
record in the zone apex, which is a violation of the DNS specification
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2181#section-10.1).

Random resolution failures are quite usual expression of this
particular RFC misconduct.

Unbound might be able to cope with this problem on it's own. But when
used with dnssec-trigger, the DNS queries might be just forwarded to
the DNS resolver from DHCP configuration. And that one might cause the
failure.

Cheers,

Jan
