The Yahoo redirect is out of bailiwick and thus requires a full lookup
again, the google one at least can be served by the same box.

But for the rest it all seems pretty fine to me...

or do you mean that those ibahn things see "NOERROR" and then no
answers, thus wrongly cache that as label has 0 answers at all?
or what I mention above with the redirect?

Greets,
