Re: NXDOMAIN and NXRRSET with SOA

[Luis S. <lui...@gm...>]

Hi!
Sorry for this last email since I noticed that in this cases you case the
negative element with the soa record. But I also noticed that you used the
ttl value from the soa record instead of the minimum. According with the rfc
2308 it says that the minimum value is used in these situations:

"The remaining of the current meanings, of being the TTL to be used
   for negative responses, is the new defined meaning of the SOA minimum
   field."

you see the opposite in the addNegative method in Cache.java:

addNegative(Name name, *int* type, SOARecord soa, *int* cred) {
*long* ttl = 0;
*if* (soa != *null*)
ttl = soa.getTTL();
...
}
Do you agree?
