OK. However this approach ignores the real-world observations that lame delegations produce an inordinate load on the parent name servers, apparently due to broken resolver implementation(s). I have seen this happen a number of times. The resulting query loop has comprised up to 80% of the parent server query traffic. -- Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints...
