DNSSEC resolution on BIND in 'forwarder' mode fails with SERVFAIL or 'broken trust chain' errors

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

BIND server fails with resolution of DNSSEC addresses.

The logs contain following errors:

broken trust chain resolving 'DDD.CCC.BBB.AAA.in-addr.arpa/PTR/IN'

client ... (DDD.CCC.BBB.AAA.in-addr.arpa): view internal: query failed (SERVFAIL) for DDD.CCC.BBB.AAA.in-addr.arpa/IN/PTR at ../../../bin/named/query.c:8580

Deactivation of DNSSEC resolution restores main DNS functionality:

dnssec-enable no;
dnssec-validation no;

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    • bind with forward mode
