[Unbound-users] Once TTL has gone, don't fetch again

Hello list,

One of colleague in Japan Unbound Users Group reports the
following problem, and I could reproduce.

Environ:
- his
 - unbound-1.3.3 + ldns-1.6.1 + libevent-1.4.2-stable
- mine
 - vanilla built unbound-1.3.3

Problem:
At first trial, unbound could resolve
"www.rurubu.com". After 1 hour(is its TTL), query to unbound
on "www.rurubu.com" ends with SERVFAIL.


Some condition observed:

	# authoritative answer on "www.rurubu.com" doesn't
	# contain ADDITIONAL SECTION.

	# I know that RFC 1035 says additional section is
	# "a posibilly empty list", so this is notable, but
	# no problem.

Though I can provide log with verbosity: 5 and the result of
unbound-control dump_cache, but these have quite large
amount to post this list, so I can send them off-list if you
need, or let me known appropriate keyword to grep, or
appropriate verbosity setting.

Thanks
