[Dnsmasq-discuss] AA bit on auth-zone

I've been using dnsmasq as an authoritative server for my lan under a
subdomain of my regular domain.  So something like lan.example.com is the
internal only zone, where lan.example.com is delegated from example.com
which is available to the public internet.  I have dnssec on example.com,
but obviously not on lan.example.com since dnsmasq doesn't automatically
create dnssec records.

When resolving those with systemd-resolved, It shows servfail.

I used https://dnsviz.net to check what was up and it said the problem was
that the AA bit wasn't getting set in the responses.

my relevant config is something like

domain=lan.example.com
auth-server=int-ns1.example.com # this is the dnsmasq server
auth-zone=lan.example.com

Am I doing something wrong?  It seems like a bug to not have dnsmasq add
the AA bit to responses that are part of an auth-zone.
