This behavior makes me bet that the trigger is a name in an incoming email message, being resolved by an anti-spam filter. That appeared to trigger a site-wide resolver crash back in May, when the oversigned .gov zone was mentioned on a list (this particular list, I think). That suggests looking in the inbound mail spool to see what might have been received at the time of the crash might be productive.

Regardless of how the query was started, if this theory of propagation is correct I'd suggest that posting the triggering name unobscured in an email message would be A Bad Thing, even if one is emailing it to ISC as they've suggested. Perhaps *especially* in that case, unless they've taken care to have one production recursor running Unbound ;)

We had the same thing happen, across multiple, geographically-diverse servers overnight, around the exact same time as the OP. That seems a little odd to be an email, as it would have to cover a myriad of destinations all at once.

While that's possible, I'm just finding it lacking as the sole reason for the conclusion.

Using 9.7.3-P3 from ISC sources, here, too.
