This doesn't strike me as a very persuasive argument.  The DNS is not
Oracle, and has never promised to be perfectly coherent.  If my cache
queries you for x, you say x doesn't exist, then you add x to the
server, my cache will continue to say x doesn't exist until the TTL
for the cache entry expires.  This shouldn't surprise anyone.  

Synthesized NXDOMAINs slightly increase the range of x for which
cached answers might be stale, but it's hard to see that as a big
deal.  If your applications depend on up to date cached data, use
short TTLs like everyone else does.  For example, I see the SOA for
www.nominum.com have a TTL of one minute.

R's,
John
