Unbound does not honor forwarder DNSSEC verification?

[Daisuke HIGASHI]

Hi,

Please show us "how to repeat" such as your unbound configuration
or procedure to see the problem...

Possible bug (feature?) concern the issue is [1].

In Unbound-1.5.4 and older, "unbound-control forward_add . 8.8.8.8"
adds forwarder with "forward-first: yes"
It makes Unbound to retry recursion by itself if 8.8.8.8 returns SERVFAIL.
