we need Q-M, since without it NXDOMAIN is ambiguous. a full resolver ("recursive nameserver") who looks up wrong2.wrong1 deserves to know that wrong1 doesn't exist so that it need not ask the root name servers about wrong3.wrong1. whatever ambiguities may come from Q-M will have a lower cost

I'd like to write a draft that updates RFC 9156 by describing situations like this that caches could recognize and avoid useless churn, added to section 2.3 which already suggests special casing underscored labels. I must confess that I do not see what is suggested in this thread which is not

Well, not always bad but sometimes. A friend of mine who works on DNSBLs wrote yesterday (quite by coincidence, unware that there's a meeting this week) asking if anyone has thought about this problem: DNSBLs have the same form as rDNS, IPv4 names all start with four labels containing digits,
