I think we are, in this case, but as I do not feel like reading the RFC at
this hour (I just woke up) I'll leave with this parting point: It worked
before, It was changed, It stopped working. It's working again in -current.
And, above all, using a dnscache for a nameserver works in every OS I've ever
used, so I think it is us who are wrong, not DJB.
