ok, but what about +ignore_unknown ? dns_again_means_nonexist is ok
for a workaround but not for every day use (as i have to detect which
domains have problems and manually add them to that list). It's
+ignore_unknown suposed to make the condition not to defer whith this
kind of errors ? anyway it a lookup that defers could be also treated
as a unknown result ...
