Just noticed this (and why terminology is a problem):

Are we talking about "lame servers" or "lame delegations"?  If the latter, is a 
"delegation" a single NS / glue record or a the set of NS records and 
associated glue for the owning domain name?  I've been "trained" to think of 
lame servers, not the entire delegation of a name, when thinking about this 
kind of maintenance activity.

I've been looking through documents and find, for example, "DNS Resolver MIB 
Extensions" in May 1994 using the term "Lame Delegation" while "Negative 
Caching of DNS Queries (DNS NCACHE)" in March 1998 using "lame server."  I.e., 
the documents are flip-flopping.

I still need more time to trawl the RFCs.  Apparently I haven't kept my cache 
of them around.
