I find this a complete and well written document. Only some minimal nits for
your consideration:
2. Conditions That Lead To DNS Resolution Failures
CMP> "to" ^^^^
3.2. Caching
Resolvers SHOULD employ an exponential or linear backoff algorithm to
increase the cache duration for persistent resolution failures. For
example, the initial time for negatively caching a resolution failure
might be set to 5 seconds, and increased after each retry that
results in another resolution failure, up to a configurable maximum,
not to exceed the 5 minute upper limit.
CMP> "5-minute"
3.3. Requerying Delegation Information
The problem of aggressive requerying to parent zones is not limited
to queries of type NS. This document updates the requirement from
section 2.1.1 of [RFC4697] to apply more generally: Upon encountering
a zone whose name servers are all non-responsive, a resolver MUST
cache the resolution failure. Furthermore, the resolver MUST limit
queries to the non-responsive zone's parent zone (and other ancestor
zones) just as it would limit subsequent queries to the non-
responsive zone.
CMP> "(and *to* other ancestor"
1.2. Related Work
