Using own DNS Server/Unbound with OpenVPN?

$

I've setup my 'own DNS server' for use with OpenVPN, so that I do not have to use Google's DNS/OpenDNS or any other DNS server. I've used this tutorial to set it up: http://library.linode.com/dns-guides/unbound-dns-resolver-ubuntu-12.04-precise-pangolin
I'm also running OpenVPN Access Server, so in the webinterface I've set 127.0.0.1 as DNS to be used by clients.

The problem is that if I stop Unbound, DNS still works. I can ping websites and the address gets translated perfectly, even after emptying my DNS cache. What kind of sorcery is this!? Why does it still work, if I killed unbound?
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 Server on a OpenVZ VPS.

Thanks!
