Correct, and also missing glue records for the delegation from one
to other, and the child zones happen to be the nameservers for both.

What I see (from time to time) seems more than just transient
timeouts.  Anyway the domain has multiple configuration issues
that its owners should resolve.

If this brings to light something worth improving in unbound that'd
be cool too, but so far so I've not identified any specific unbound
problem.
