[Unbound-users] Unbound fails to stub-zone to localhost

Why does it do this? What's the design decision? It seems wrong to
have unbound redirect queries for a zone to e.g. localhost, then ask
localhost for the zone's NS record, resolve that, and then direct
all other queries there instead, effectively ignoring the explicit
redirect/stub/forward instruction.

This feels like a hack to me. Shouldn't it possibly be the other way
around? By default, ignore the NS set (or at least don't require
it), unless a special flag is set to make it recurse NS records and
forward queries to the NS configured in the zone?

Cheers,
