I just noticed this when playing around with the auth-zones feature of
the recursor. This doesn't have a solid justified use case, so I don't
think it's worth a GitHub issue.

However, the current state of the documentation suggests that this is
supported (dnssec=process-no-validate: "will provide DNSSEC related
RRsets (NSEC, RRSIG) to clients that ask for them", together with
auth-zones: "Zones read from these files (in BIND format) are served
authoritatively"). I will submit a pull request to improve the
documentation.

Best,
Peter
