You need to cache expired RRSIGs for some time, or else every DO=1
query for the relevant record triggers a cache miss, which would be
problematic.

This negative caching of DNSSEC-related failure is optional according
to the RFC, but is required as a practical matter in implementations
suitable for large-scale deployment.
