Hi Dimitar,

The query work for me, both with and without qname minimisation.

The name v1x2s.rf-adfe2ko9.senderbase.org. returns NXDOMAIN and this
is an error.  But qname minimisation works around it (by assuming
non-DNSSEC servers cannot get NXDOMAIN right).

But with use-caps-for-id: yes I get NXDOMAIN as well.  The server
cannot handle the fact that DNS does not distinguish between uppercase
and lowercase and treats those names differently.  You could try to
get them to fix the software (and also for the NXDOMAIN problem noted
above).  Or you can caps-whitelist: "senderbase.org" in unbound.conf
that will omit the dns-0x20 upper-lowercase changes to that domain name.

Best regards, Wouter
