I like this distinction. Agree that calling just one server not working
is a lame name server.

Still want better clarity for lame delegation on if we really care why
we aren't getting auth/AA responses from at least one nameserver. If no
listed nameserver gives auth/AA, I'd call that a clear criteria for lame
delegation, regardless of the underlying reason, at least as far as a
recursive server should care.

Humans debugging may care but I don't see a "better" definition of lame
server really informs that debugging process.
