        Can we kill this legend.

        Returning NXDOMAIN takes the same amount of time as returning
        a PTR record.

        If there are delays it is not due to the DNS unless there is a
        bad delegation.  A more usual cause is IDENT and firewalls that
        block / do not generate ICMP responses.
