[Unbound-users] rDNS stubs not working (unbound + nsd3)

Continuing with my BIND to unbound+nsd3 migration I'm looking at
reverse resolution.  While forward resolution stubs work fine, I don't
seem to be able to ge the reverse stubs working. Here's what I have
currently:

I have NSD3 set up on the localhost, different interface, as the
authoritative server with a pretty simple config:

server:
    ip-address: 172.22.22.185
    port: 53
    ip4-only: yes

    logfile: "/var/log/nsd.log"
    verbosity: 2

    zonesdir: "/etc/nsd3/zonedata"

    zone:
        name: "22.22.172.in-addr.arpa"
        zonefile: "_reverse.22.22.172"

    zone:
        name: "mytestzone.lan"
        zonefile: "mytestzone.lan"

Now if I dig... dig @172.22.22.185 mytestzone.lan, I get:

# dig @172.22.22.185 mytestzone.lan

That's all good. Then I do: dig @172.22.22.185 -x 172.22.22.180

# dig @172.22.22.185 -x 172.22.22.180

Still all good.

Now, from Unbound which I have configured like so:

----
server:
    auto-trust-anchor-file: "/var/lib/unbound/root.key"

    interface:      127.0.0.1
    port:           53

    directory:      "/etc/unbound"
    chroot:         ""
    username:       "unbound"

    access-control: 172.22.22.0/24 allow

    root-hints:     "/etc/unbound/root.hints"
    module-config:  "iterator"

    pidfile:        "/var/run/unbound.pid"
    use-syslog:     yes
    do-ip6:         no
    verbosity:      2

    identity:       ""
    hide-version:   yes

   logfile: "/var/log/unbound/unbound.log"
    use-syslog: no
    log-time-ascii: yes
    log-queries: yes

    private-domain: "externalized.net"
    local-zone: "172.in-addr.arpa" nodefault

    forward-zone:
        name: "."
        forward-addr: 4.2.2.1
        forward-addr: 4.2.2.2
        forward-addr: 4.2.2.3
        forward-addr: 4.2.2.4
        forward-addr: 4.2.2.5
        forward-addr: 4.2.2.6
        forward-addr: 8.8.8.8
        forward-addr: 8.8.4.4

    stub-zone:
        name: "externalized.net"
        stub-addr: 172.22.22.185
        stub-prime: "no"

    stub-zone:
        name: "mytestzone.lan"
        stub-addr: 172.22.22.185
        stub-prime: "no"

    stub-zone:
        name: "22.22.172.in-addr.arpa"
        stub-addr: 172.22.22.185
        stub-prime: "no"
----


Now I try to query through Unbound:

----
# dig @localhost ns3.externalized.net a

; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> @localhost ns3.externalized.net a
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd

Forward stub is working, good... now I try the reverse stub:

----
# dig @localhost -x 172.22.22.185

No response!  It seems the AS112 blocking is in effect.  Why is the
authority section reduced to "22.172.in-addr.arpa." when it's supposed
to be "22.22.172.in-addr.arpa"?  Here's the reverse zone file:

----
$ORIGIN 22.22.172.in-addr.arpa.
$TTL 1m

@       SOA ns3.externalized.net. admin.externalized.net. (
                2012102801      ; serial
                3h              ; refresh
                1h              ; retry
                3w              ; expire
                1h )            ; minimum TTL

        NS      ns3.externalized.net.

        RP      admin.externalized.net. externalized.net.

1       PTR     externalized.net.
2       PTR     unassigned.externalized.net.
180  PTR     moonpod.externalized.net.
185  PTR     ns3.externalized.net.
----

This appears a Unbound issue since querying NSD directly works fine.
I've combed the web for suggestions, tried..
local-zone: "172.in-addr.arpa" transparent
local-zone: "22.22.172.in-addr.arpa" nodefault
etc.. but to no avail.

Also, when the local-zone clause is present for the in-addr.arpa zone
the following error shows up in the log: "error: duplicate forward
zone ignored".

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks for any ideas!!
