00:00:00 Cache receives a reply with a AAAA record for foobar.example, with a 
TTL of 86400

01:00:00 Cache receives a reply NXDOMAIN when asking QNAME=example

02:00:00 Cache receives a AAAA request for foobar.example

With today's software, the cache will reply (the TTL is not over). I
find that a violation of the tree model of the DNS. I find more
elegant if cache replies NXDOMAIN.

Note that both behaviour will have the same result for the upstream
servers: in both cases, the cache won't send a query to them.
