I know that too but this particular server isn't designed to be used as
recursive and I don't want it to be.

It's RD (recursion desired) flag and my question is if any nameserver is
known by sending queries with this flag set.

I don't care if they do recursion themselves, but if anyone asks this server
with RD flag set, the answer will be venemous.
