So I am running unbound with the dnssec extensions:

% stripcom /var/unbound/etc/unbound.conf 
server:
verbosity: 1
module-config: "validator iterator"
auto-trust-anchor-file: "/var/unbound/etc/root.key"
val-log-level: 2


% nslookup www.dnssec-failed.org
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server
Server:         x.y.z.a
Address:        x.y.z.a#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   www.dnssec-failed.org
Address: 69.252.208.135
Name:   www.dnssec-failed.org
Address: 69.252.216.215


Well that's nice: unbound prevented a reply but gethostbyname()
simply switched to the next server in resolv.conf. So for example
lynx also shows the given url/webpage.

Yes, I can remove that secondary server from resolv.conf, that
would be a work-around.

What I was thinking is that it would be nice if unbound would send
a signal like: DNSSEC-FAILED and that gethostbyname() would not
try the next server. Would that make sense?
