There's two ways to solve this problem.

The first is server administrators follow section 4.2.1 of RFC 1034,
which says parent servers should always serve the exact same records
that child servers do.  If you follow this rule, there's never a need
to contact the child servers.

The alternative way is to make dnscache spend extra CPU cycles and
extra network resources and add extra load on DNS infrastructure.

dnscache uses the former solution.
