Hello.

Forwarding without DNSSEC validation works fine. However, forwarding
with DNSSEC validation fails for insecure zones (and sometimes secured,
too), unless I set "harden-dnssec-stripped: no".

Forwarder is BIND 9.6.1rc1 and so far I had not much trouble with
validating (BIND) resolvers behind it.

Where should I look for the cause of this problem?
Or is "harden-dnssec-stripped" supposed to be disabled in a forwarding
setup?


A failing query for an insecure zone typically looks like this:

> info: resolving <www.example.com. A IN>
> info: response for <www.example.com. A IN>
> info: reply from <.> 10.42.23.3#53
> info: query response was ANSWER
> info: resolving <www.example.com.dlv.isc.org. DLV IN>
> info: response for <www.example.com.dlv.isc.org. DLV IN>
> info: reply from <.> 10.42.23.3#53
> info: query response was ANSWER
> info: resolving <com.dlv.isc.org. DS IN>
> info: response for <com.dlv.isc.org. DS IN>
> info: reply from <.> 10.42.23.3#53
> info: query response was ANSWER
> info: NSEC RRset for the referral did not prove no DS.
> info: Could not establish validation of INSECURE status of unsigned response.

The forwarder returns the correct response, as far as I can see:

> ha...@pope:~$ dig +dnssec com.dlv.isc.org. DS  @10.42.23.3
[...]
> ;; flags: qr rd ra ad; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 1

Curious thing: Even though tcpdump shows no difference in both query and
response packets, the response to Unbound's query is not cached.
Querying with dig forces the forwarder to retrieve the record again and
cache it. Is this normal?

Queries for secure zones succeed most of the time:

> info: resolving <www.hauke-lampe.de. A IN>
> info: response for <www.hauke-lampe.de. A IN>
> info: reply from <.> 10.42.23.3#53
> info: query response was ANSWER
> info: resolving <hauke-lampe.de.dlv.isc.org. DLV IN>
> info: response for <hauke-lampe.de.dlv.isc.org. DLV IN>
> info: reply from <.> 10.42.23.3#53
> info: query response was ANSWER
> info: validate(positive): sec_status_secure
> info: validation success <hauke-lampe.de.dlv.isc.org. DLV IN>
> info: resolving <hauke-lampe.de. DNSKEY IN>
> info: response for <hauke-lampe.de. DNSKEY IN>
> info: reply from <.> 10.42.23.3#53
> info: query response was ANSWER
> info: validated DNSKEY <hauke-lampe.de. DNSKEY IN>
> info: validate(positive): sec_status_secure
> info: validation success <www.hauke-lampe.de. A IN>

but sometimes they fail:

> info: resolving <www.hauke-lampe.de. A IN>
> info: response for <www.hauke-lampe.de. A IN>
> info: reply from <.> 10.42.23.3#53
> info: query response was ANSWER
> info: resolving <hauke-lampe.de.dlv.isc.org. DLV IN>
> info: response for <hauke-lampe.de.dlv.isc.org. DLV IN>
> info: reply from <.> 10.42.23.3#53
> info: query response was ANSWER
> info: Validate: message contains bad rrsets

What bad rresets could Unbound mean? Again, the response from the
forwarder looks good to me:
