Re: Connect_retry in 1.1.21

<lecture flags=brief,off-topic content="lame-delegation">
A 'lame delegation' is where a server that is supposed to be
authoritative for a domain turns out to not be configured as either a
primary or a secondary (master or slave in the newspeak) for it.

Like, say, a domain may have NS entries listing authoritative
nameservers as:

        IN NS dns1.foo.bar.
        IN NS dns2.foo.bar.
        IN NS dns3.foo.bar.

And you go to ask one for say www.foo and it tells you that it isn't one
of foo.bar's authoritative nameservers.
