We think that we got caught by this change as part of our roll out to 
9.18.41.  The basic gist is, that in a service provider context, our job 
is to do our best to resolve DNS as quickly and as well as possible for 
our customers.  If google and cloudflare resolve the domains and we 
can't, the customer does not care in the slightest why, only that 
they're not able to get to their work, school or other public resource. 
This just results in them migrating away from our recursive clusters to 
these public resources for good.
There certainly may be context where the new behavior is justified, but 
default or not, we need the ability to enable more relaxed behavior.
