Hi Martin,

Glad to hear your stub-zone problem is solved.

No, it does not look like solid theory.  I understand it could be useful
in practice.  You see, the stub may have returned CNAMEs or delegations
to other servers.  Unbound would do the additional lookups.  Results
stored in the cache with a TTL.  Setting AA flag for that is not correct.

Unbound does set AA flag for local-data.

Best regards,
   Wouter
