The longevity of the negative answer in the cache is defined as min(SOA TTL, 
SOA MINIMUM). There is no magic, here.

The existing AS112 servers return SOA TTL = SOA MINIMUM = 604800, per RFC 6304. 
Setting the SOA TTL to 900 would reduce the longevity of both the SOA and the 
NOERROR/NODATA to 900 seconds from a week. I don't think that's desirable for 
these zones. Note I'm assuming that NOERROR/NODATA are cached the same way as 
NXDOMAIN.

draft-kumari-omniscient-as112-01 specifies SOA MINIMUM = 604800 but doesn't 
specify the SOA TTL. Should probably fix that.
