Yes TTL=0 is not cached.  This is a must from the RFC.

Unbound does not 'gather up' RRs from cache to answer ANY, but asks
the set of RRs upstream.  The search through the cache would slow it down.

Yes.  But not many normal ANY queries.  TTL=0 is legal.  Unbound's
behaviour for the ANY query is not really specified.  So for cache
efficiency and easy it gets the query from upstream.

cache-min-ttl could perhaps change unbound's behaviour here.

Best regards,
