Actually - that might be what one of my problems are. I'm trying to do a
lookup on the NS record if an IP and getting no NS record for some of
them. The lookup fials and puts it into DEFER.

What I need is a way to trap for this so that if there is not NS record
it returns an empty string.

Yes - what I'm doing isn't RFC2317 compliant. I'm just trying to extract
more information where it's available that can be used for spam detection.
