Hi Florian,

Could you retry this with current svn trunk of unbound?
The retry logic in case of dnssec failures should blacklist
the cached missing-dnskey-response and try to go to the
network again at step 6.

Best regards,
   Wouter

I've run the following test with Unbound 1.3.4:

   1. Set up Unbound with the IANA DNSSEC testbed root and approriate
      trust anchors.

   2. Check that the AD bit is set for some secure RRsets (to verify
      that step 1 has been implemented correctly).

   3. Modify the system such that queries for all name servers of a
      certain domain (let's say "example.com") are answered by a name
      server which has got an A wildcard at the root, does not
      implement DNSSEC, and returns NOERROR for all the DNSSEC RR
      types.  (Except for the IPv6 servers, which are not reachable
      anyway despite IPv6 support being enabled in Unbound because the
      kernel does not support IPv6.  Disabling IPv6 altogether does not
      seem to make a difference.)

   4. Send a query for www.example.com to the Unbound resolver.  As
      expected, it results in a validation failure and a SERVFAIL
      response.

   5. Send another query for www.example.com.  It results an immediate
      SERVFAIL response from Unbound.  Also expected.

   5. Wait (longer than the configured val-bogus-ttl value).

   6. Send a query for www.example.com.  Again, an immediate SERVFAIL
      response is sent by Unbound (and nothing is logged).

The result of step 6 is not what I would expect.  I think there should
be a fresh upstream transaction.  If I lift the redirection
established in step 3, queries for non-cached names are stilled
answered with SERVFAIL responses, after an upstream transaction.

Looking at the log for the cache-miss case, it seems that Unbound
still caches the NODATA DNSKEY response for example.com:

[1256554227] unbound[28667:0] info: Missing DNSKEY RRset in response to DNSKEY 
query.

Could Unbound lower the TTL on the DNSKEY RRset in such cases?
