As far as I understand it at least BIND 9 doesn't treat REFUSED as a fatal
error. It will simply keep trying other servers. I suspect other widely
used recursive servers behave that way, too. In fact, this type of lame
is not uncommon (it can easily happen due to parent-child mismatch, for
example), and if it triggered a perpanet failure we should have seen a lot
of complaints.
