[Unbound-users] Inconsistent TTL in (nxdomain) responses,

Hi,

I configured a stub-zone for testing a new zone that solely responds nxdomain with a min ttl of 1 week on all PTR's
Assumption is that unbound would limit the TTL to the value configured in unbound.conf that equals 1 day by default.

cache-max-ttl: 86400

I noticed that unbound responds with either the TTL configured in the zone or the cache-max-ttl. The inconsistency in ttl in the answers seem to be sort of random to me.
To be sure only 1 cache wil be used, I set the thread number to 1.

Stub-zone conf

stub-zone:
        name: "98.95.in-addr.arpa."
        stub-host: ns1.info.nl.
        stub-host: ns2.info.nl.
        stub-host: ns2.info.nl.

Tcpdump shows that the auth nameserver is consulted only once for 95.98.40.50 and returns a min ttl of 1 week.

Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks,
