      I have unbound DNS in resolver mode and just came across a domain name for which its authoritative server does not seem to support DNSSEC. As a result clients do not receive the resolved IP address. Strangely, PFSense itself can resolve these queries just fine (via the DNS Lookup tool).

      From dnschecker.org the name server for habr.com is ns1.habradns.net and the lack of RRSIG response indicates that it does not support DNSSEC.

      Is there a fallback mechanism for such cases so as not to disable DNSSEC globally?
