Adding NS records to a answer is optional they are only required
for a referral (RFC 1035).
Signed DNSKEY responses tend to be large and by the time a DNSKEY
query is made a recursive server will almost always have the NS
RRset. Similarly for DS queries then recursive server will almost
always have the NS RRset, infact it may have had to make a explict
NS query to find the correct set of nameservers to ask. Adding NS
records and associated glue can push answers over various thresholds
increasing the likelyhood of triggering recovery strategies to work
around mis-configured firewall which often involve falling back to
TCP. To reduce this named turns on minimal-response for DNSKEY and
DS queries.
response > 512
response requires fragmentation
response to big to fit in advertised UDP buffer
Named also turns on minimal-response for EDNS responses where the
UDP buffer size is 512. This again reduces the probability of TCP
fallback being required.
