Re: Strange behavior from resolvers?

[Mark . Andrews]

        RFC 2308 enumerates the negative response types.  It did not
        invent new ones (AA=0 aside).  They all existed in RFC 103[45]
        as did referral.  RFC 2308 just pointed out easy mistakes to
        make.

        If a nameserver does not understand these response enumerated
        in RFC 2308 it is not RFC 103[45] compliant.  If a nameserver
        generates the wrong response, as in this case when it generated
        a referral rather than one of the possible NODATA responses,
        it is not RFC 103[45] compliant.
