Hello Bjoern,

thanks a lot.
You described my main unbound usage.
Most scenarios where I need to avoid obsolete RRs are perfecltly covered 
with auth-zones:.
For the stub'n'forward zones I limited max TTL as far as I remember.
But I remember I wanted a stub-no-cache: once.  Can't remember the 
detailts, but I'm happy to know it's there now.
A short man page record would be nice, I wil have forgotten about it 
possibly already next time I'll touch any unbound.conf.

Are you aware of any stub-no-chache: advantage over auth-zone: in the 
mentioned usage scenario?
I mean if there is small zone data (<10k RRs), mid-latency links (<50ms) 
and isolated/secure transfer channels available?

Thanks,
