The BIND developers claim, that the behavior of BIND is correct.

The upstream resolver (BIND) has DLV disabled and therefore uses
a subset of trust anchors my local resolver (Unbound) uses. And the zone
is insecure from the BIND's point of view.

Ignoring the fact, that BIND adds NS records into authority from no
reason, omitting the NS RRSIGs is probably justifiable.

Anyway, it would be great, if Unbound could strip non-essential records
from the response before performing the validation.

Best regards,

Jan.
