Yes, I  did actually look  at the answers  provided by dig  although not
closely enough to  notice that they are rotating answers.  I wasn't able
to use  dnsq to resolve  them (which isn't  part of dnscache)  either so
apparently the packets get discarded  by the library. I haven't actually
looked at  the code so  this is just  guesswork at this  point. dnstrace
also fails to lookup the MX records.
