This case should actually not be a problem normally, even with
DNSSEC, since in such a case you wouldn't enable DNSSEC on
kraxel.org.

If you want to do such "split horizon" setups, then don't sign your
zones. I think that's a completely fair requirement to make, and if
you did sign your domains then this should really mean "don't allow
anything below my domain except what I define here or delegated".

The problem is pretty much limited to top-level domains, where those
routers and company networks invented stuff.
