I’ve been running a pdns_recursor install for a little over 11 months now, and 
I had about 9 months’ uptime on the machine running it. Tonight, suddenly, 
without my making any changes, ALL DNS queries through the recursor started 
returning SERVFAIL. I spent the better part of an hour diagnosing it. Finally, 
on a hunch, I enabled 
"dnssec-log-bogus=yes," and voila. Every. Single. Request. Every domain. From 
Google to Facebook to Microsoft. EVERYTHING was “Bogus.” (Important reminder 
here: I didn’t make ANY changes.)

The only way I was able to get DNS working again was to change the dnssec 
setting to "dnssec=process-no-validate.” But I sure don’t feel really good 
about that.

Anyone have any clue what happened? Did the world break or something?
