DNF is as graceful as a failure can be.  RNF is less graceful, but at
least your node replied, and didn't crash itself, or your entire
computer.  

DNF means the key may be in freenet, but your request just didn't find
it.

RNF means your request wasn't able to search as much of freenet as it
should have, and failed because of that.
