Also, this is an early interpretation of the draft
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-refuse-any-00 .

This is to limit dos attacks with qtype ANY, while being protocol
conformant (i.e. DNSSEC and mail programs).  It returns not all, but
some rrset entries, if those are in cache.

On the topic of dos attacks, your new version of unbound has
ratelimiting with the option ratelimit: 100 or something (ratelimits
new, uncached queries per zone ; but does not ratelimit prefetches).

Best regards, Wouter
