When forwarding a query to a non-DNSSEC nameserver, don't verify the lack of DNSSEC.
The man page says that we don't do DNSSEC on forwarded domains, but if
you turn on dnssec_check_signatures this turns out to be untrue,
because we try to build up a DS chain to them. Since forwarded domains
are usually used for split DNS to hidden domains, they're unlikely to
verify to the DNS root anyway, so the way to do DNSSEC for them (as the
manual says) is to provide a trust anchor for each forwarder.
The problem I've run into is a split DNS setup where I want DNSSEC to
work mostly, but one of the forwarding domains doesn't have an internal
DNSSEC capable resolver. Without this patch the entire domain goes
unresolvable because the DS record query to the internal resolver
returns a failure which is interpreted as the domain being BOGUS.
The fix is not to do the DS record chase for forwarded domains.
