Today, we experienced the problem described in <http://fanf.livejournal.com/107721.html>. BIND cannot query CNAME ns1.webhosting24.com but Unbound can. Here on OARC's ODVR service:

It seems BIND is right to reject it and Unbound is wrong? % dig @217.70.144.111 CNAME ns1.webhosting24.com ; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> @217.70.144.111 CNAME ns1.webhosting24.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 17571 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags: do; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ns1.webhosting24.com.
