 We should downgrade this warning when it only happens for a short period
 of time (or a small number of requests), or when it happens in response to
 a malformed request.

 This warning is causing operators to make sub-optimal DNS server choices:
 for example, avoiding using a local cache in favour of remote resolvers.

 Sometimes changing the local resolver makes a difference:

 Sometimes it happens in response to malformed requests:

 Sometimes it's harmless:
