Unbound 1.5.9

Hi Andreas,

Do you have QNAME minimisation enabled? Before 1.5.9 Unbound had code to
limit the number of outgoing queries for ip6.arpa lookups, in 1.5.9 we
generalised this to have a limit for all lookups. The new behaviour
might result in slightly more queries to the nameservers of a zone. The
combination of the "high" number of queries and the low number of
targets (one stub) can result in unbound marking the only available
target as unsuitable, therefore returning a SERVFAIL response.

This simple patch for 1.5.9 solves this problem. Also committed to trunk
in the source repository.
