Starting last week, queries for domains are not failing
correctly when the domain being looked up is a CNAME for an A record.
Instead of getting back a response indicating there is no record,
the resolver continues to look for a record until a timeout (a
minute or so), where it then switches to looking for an A record,
which is found immediately (as a CNAME).
Here it is even more simply, the first query should give something like
the third.
