Strange to present it as one of the biggest problems when mitigating
the dDoS. After all, glue records is only for in-zone data, most

Also, since the resolver uses the TTL from the zone (which is
authoritative), why worrying about the TTL from the parent? On my
Unbound, I do get the authoritative ultra-short TTL:
