I meant to describe it as an authoritative server. Duh.  I'm having one of 
those days....

Sorry for the confusion.

So to rephrase the question... 

Is there any reason why recursive queries to an authoritative server that 
would normally get a REFUSED reply shouldn't be dropped instead of getting 
an answer?

Maybe now that I've had lunch the brain will work better.
