Yes.  It caches what the authority server sends.  For speed reasons it
does not (try to) remove duplicates.  Except in special corner cases
where it does remove duplicates (where it tries to make sense of RRSIGs
that are in the wrong section of the message, and when it thus adjusts
the message it removes duplicates).

Unbound does not introduce duplicates itself, but also does not remove
them if the authority server sends them like that.

Unbound preserves the exact order of the records as well.
