Public bug reported:
We are using ubuntu 16.04 as our dns recursoron production. We installed
the pdns-recursor package from ubuntu repositories, pdns-recursor
(4.0.0~alpha2-2ubuntu0.1) and we faced an issue that is really similar
to this one: https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/pull/4377.
Here it is the version installed:
```
# pdns_recursor --version

```
And here is the output of a dig request:
```

```
Without changing anything to the configuration, we installed the
upstream 4.0.X series version.
Here you find the output of the version number, and the same dig request
as above:
