This is correct. The ueberbackend (UeberBackend::lookup) consults the querycache (UeberBackend::cacheHas) before consulting the actual backends. When an actual backend needs information for itself (like, in this situation, for checking SOAs to determine freshness) it does not talk to the PDNS query cache. These backends may of course benefit from caching in the actual SQL-server.

Kind regards,
