As I understand it the behaviour of ncsd is just a symptom of the "real"
problem which is wrongful intermittent failed lookups, presumably due to
a timed-out lookup.  One might imagine it would be better to treat that
disease than just try to minimize the pain by reducing the negative time
to live?
