Help forwarding PTR queries from Unbound to Knot DNS

I think you are hitting built-in empty zones for private AS112 address 
ranges. You can query local zone by:

dig @localhost +norec 10.in-addr.arpa soa

If it contains localhost, then unbound is serving own empty zone. You 
need to override 10.in-addr.arpa zone with you content. Local zone data 
is preferred over remote data. Easiest solution would be expanding it to 
whole 10.0.0.0/8, as have been already is recommeded.

You would have to create built-in NS entry pointing to 10.0.0.14.

10.in-addr.arpa. 600 IN NS your-ns-name.example.net.

Where your-ns-name.example.net. would be whatever10.0.0.14 has as its name.

stub-zone:
   name: "10.in-addr.arpa."
   stub-addr: 10.0.0.14
