[Dnsmasq-discuss] IXFR requests and how they are handled

Hello

I was trying to use dnsmasq as a master with unbound as secondaries. After
some debugging (https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/bugs-script/show_bug.cgi?id=4219),
I realized that IXFR is not handled by dnsmasq (AXFR is - and works fine).
It seems that the request just hangs and timeouts.

Would it be possible to appropriately respond to IXFR queries so that the
requesting server knows to fallback to AXFR?
I am trying at the same time to see whether the "timeout" case could not be
gracefully handled as well on unbound side (they only handle rejection)
