Additionally it was predicated on caches not having the concept of a negative cache "The difficulty is that the presence of one RR type in a cache doesn't convey any information about the other because the query which acquired the cached information might have used a QTYPE of

Again, it does not say that explicitly. Your interpretation is valid but not the only possible reading of the test you quoted. It’s certainly not how I read it. On Wed, 15 Feb 2023 at 20:33, Masataka Ohta < mo...@necom830.hpcl.titech.ac.jp> wrote: > Ted Lemon wrote: > > > I'm not seeing the place
