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. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
