Subject: [PATCH 09/32] Revert 68f6312d4bae30b78daafcd6f51dc441b8685b1e
|
|
|
|
The above is intended to increase robustness, but actually does the
|
|
opposite. The problem is that by ignoring SERVFAIL messages and hoping
|
|
for a better answer from another of the servers we've forwarded to,
|
|
we become vulnerable in the case that one or more of the configured
|
|
servers is down or not responding.
|
|
|
|
Consider the case that a domain is indeed BOGUS, and we've send the
|
|
query to n servers. With 68f6312d4bae30b78daafcd6f51dc441b8685b1e
|
|
we ignore the first n-1 SERVFAIL replies, and only return the
|
|
final n'th answer to the client. Now, if one of the servers we are
|
|
forwarding to is down, then we won't get all n replies, and the
|
|
client will never get an answer! This is a far more likely scenario
|
|
than a temporary SERVFAIL from only one of a set of notionally identical
|
|
servers, so, on the ground of robustness, we have to believe
|
|
any SERVFAIL answers we get, and return them to the client.
|
|
|
|
The client could be using the same recursive servers we are,
|
|
so it should, in theory, retry on SERVFAIL anyway.
