[polri.go.id DNS issues, glueless delegation, confusing NSEC???]

Hi Viktor,

I don't see bugs in unbound; but perhaps there is not enough information
about what is going on.

The lookup of this domain works for me.

Note that unbound will refuse to lookup on nameservers that are
themselves DNSSEC-bogus.  The NS, A, or AAAA for the nameserver is bogus
and then unbound refuses to use that name.  With the malformed server,
refusing TLSA, glueless delegations, perhaps those records are bogus (at
some time, for some queries, because the servers act weird).

Best regards, Wouter
