Or if a caching resolver did make a "note to self" that there are 
missing records that need to be replaced, what would be the point of 
keeping any records with a longer TTL? A resolver would still be sending 
the same queries to refresh the entry with the shortest TTL anyway, so 
it wouldn't reduce the query volume.
