Please query the authoritative DNS(SEC) with dns-01

Hi @patch-work

your interpretation is wrong. Letsencrypt doesn't use dns caches.

Letsencrypt queries always the authoritative name servers via Unbound.

But this

is a fatal setup. Slave updates should happen in minutes.

If you can't change that, you should create an own client (or use a client with such a feature) with a longer wait before confirming the challenge.

You can use

https://unboundtest.com/

to check that. Unbound checks always more then one of the authoritative name servers.

So if the name servers have different results -> that's fatal, that's expected.
