Try more than once - you are probably seeing the effect of the "slip"
setting, which is supposed to allow legitimate clients to get answers even
when they are being spoofed by a DDoS attack.

Also, if you are using DiG then to see the proper effect you'll want to
set the +ignore +tries=1 options (and maybe +timeout=1).
