Re: rcode: REFUSED with NSD behind Unbound

Hi Tristan,

In your nsd.conf you have a mistake in the zone name:

name: "doe.com-internal"

But that makes a zone "doe.com-internal" and not "doe.com".  Unbound queries for doe.com and that zone is not hosted by the NSD instances and thus this returned REFUSED.

Best regards, Wouter
