Hi Yuri,

I've done a bit of testing with this and found a few issues.

1) The returned record does not update based on geoip when using different
subnets.  This happen only when the first request a given name does not
have a client subnet passed with it:

2) The TTL returned when edns-subnet is passed does not change over time:

At one point I had a working patch to fix this issue, however I am unable
to find the whole patch at this time.  I do have a small patch that sets
the correct ttl in the reply from edns-subnet/subnetmod.c to
utils/data/msgreply.c however I'm missing the msgreply.c piece that
correctly set the response.(See attached patch for the first part)  I
believe this is happening because the cache tree for client-subnets is
different from the standard cache tree.

3) unbound-control marks all edns-subnet hits as misses:
