Unbound\NSD non-authorative answer?

Hi guys,

I'm a bit lost to why a query directly to NSD gives me an authoritative answer (as it should for my local domain), but when queried through unbound (which is set as recursive caching DNS) I get a non-authorative answer. Is this because unbound is giving me the answer and not NSD directly and the authority section gets lost or stripped?

thanks for the help!

The authority flag is only set when you directly query the authoritative DNS server. unbound will correctly tell you it is not the authoritative nameserver, it only forwards data it received from a different server.
