Hi Bob,

I just want to elaborate on one important point from Mark's earlier
response.

For the query in question (google.com, type 1001), the response should be
NOERROR, and not NXDOMAIN (the name google.com exists, so the response
cannot be NXDOMAIN, regardless of what query type was issued).
Specifically, it should be a "NODATA" response (response code: NOERROR, an
empty answer section, and a SOA record in the Authority section). More
generally, if the domain name exists (either because it has other RR types
associated with it, or if it has none but has descendent nodes that do have
RRsets), then the response must be NODATA.

Shumon.
