I set this up purposely, since I faced some weird behaviour, and also I 
was wondering how bind handles the situation when all servers are 
unreachable,

I have two issues with this setup, as my old posts,

1. bind sends around 150 packets total to all nameservers, when I 
request single name for any host from this domain, which seems quite a 
lot for me, and it seems to be doing it for every new name again, looks 
like  pretty ddos amplifier I am trying to understand this logic.

2. I have this +norec/rd flag issue, when I am unable to see the *glue* 
from the cache with rd flag.
