Yes, because I'm no longer using DNSCrypt, just Unbound, which queries
authoritative DNS servers. I'm caching as much as I can but I'm out of
RAM at this point, so Unbound does have to do some recursions. I'm
tempted to re-apply DNSCrypt in order to forward queries to another
server that can do more caching, but I haven't done that yet.
Thanks again to the folks on IRC who correctly pointed out that DNSCrypt
has the same security model as a VPN: it only protects client-server
traffic and the server has to be trustworthy. Currently, I'm better to
use DNSSEC and query against authoritative DNS servers than I am to turn
off DNSSEC and use Unbound. If I get a second server set up, it will use
DNSSEC and I'll chain the two Unbound instances together with DNSCrypt.
That should give me better performance.
I'll look into setting up a fallback nameserver for redundancy as you
pointed out.
