Betreff: questions of understanding pdns-recursor with hosts-file

Hello together,

I'am a little confused about the "export-etc-hosts"-switch. I use latest 
pdns-recursor in version 4.3.3 on Ubuntu 20.04.
Because of problems with firewall, NAT and external IPs, we have to redirect 
some (not all) DNS-Entries to internal IPs instead of public available IPs. For 
this purpose I installed this extra server, to insert the needed entries in the 
hosts-file and activated "export-etc-hosts" in pdns-recursor.conf.

Now my problem: if the root domain (in my example benchmaxx.de) is included in 
this hosts-file, the recursor seems to feel authoritative for the whole domain 
and trys to answers all other requests for subdomains from benchmaxx.de (in my 
example test.benchmaxx.de) with NXDOMAIN.
Here are the logs for this behavior:

If I comment out benchmaxx.de in the hosts-file, all is fine and the request 
for test.benchmaxx.de is answered correctly:

So my question is: is this behavior normal and intended?

Thanks and best regards,
