Trying to find out why my unbound will not resolve www.startpuntgeldzaken.nl

What I see is this (reliably)

When asking 8.8.8.8 or 9.9.9.9 directly, the name is resolved.

But when unbound forwards to 8.8.8.8 or 9.9.9.9, it fails. 

In other words: I can realiable ask 9.9.9.9 for www.startpuntgeldzaken.nl but I cannot get unbound to get that same info via a forward. See:

$ unbound-control lookup www.startpuntgeldzaken.nl
The following name servers are used for lookup of www.startpuntgeldzaken.nl.
forwarding request:
Delegation with 0 names, of which 0 can be examined to query further addresses.
It provides 2 IP addresses.

and

$ dig @9.9.9.9 www.startpuntgeldzaken.nl; dig @192.168.2.86 www.startpuntgeldzaken.nl

It is that reliable difference between asking 9.9.9.9 (or 8.8.8.8, or 1.1.1.1) directly and doing the same via unbound that forwards that bothers me. Direct always succeeds. Forward always fails.
