Hello,


I have an issue with cname since this patch : https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/commit/2be0263dfa72f314c4cb61599f1ec7e90784da9c


I'm using unbound 1.7.3 with qname-minimisation: yes and the problem only occurs if i ask for a CNAME on a domain having DNSSEC activated. Most of the time i get a SERVFAIL.


--- Example  ---

~ # dig cname pcs-cname.eyof.ovh

; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Debian <<>> cname pcs-cname.eyof.ovh
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;pcs-cname.eyof.ovh.            IN      CNAME

;; Query time: 770 msec

it works only if
 - domain has NOT DNSEC activated.

 - you ask for A instead of CNAME.


I finally recompiled a version of unbound 1.7.3 without this patch and i have no more problem.


Are you aware of this issue ? is there an other way to correct this problem ? Thanks.


Best Regards
