Comment (by Dhalgren):

 With Unbound running I did positively confirm that

    time dig @127.0.0.1 +tries=1 +time=20 <domain on non-responding NS
 server>

 goes 20 seconds and quits with no response from the resolver where with
 'named' the same command shows the resolver sending back a SERVFAIL at 10
 seconds.  In the above scenario 'unbound-control dump_requestlist' shows
 the requested domain for the 120 seconds that Unbound attempts to resolve
 it.
