Oddly enough, unrelated to this thread, someone asked me today
whether there exist stub resolver libraries that can be configured
to trust AD=1, but *otherwise* perform local validation when AD=0.

Perhaps the local recursor is non-validating, or Petr's idea is
implemented and the AD bit is suppressed.  Either way, the application
can recover at the cost of performing internal verification, but only
when "necessary".

Anyone know of a library that can support this mode of operation?
