// ----------------------------------------------------------------
// Live DNS test support
// ----------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Every test in this package resolves against the real, live DNS —
// see TESTING.md. Each live operation below goes through
// livedns.Retry, which bounds how many resolutions are in flight at
// once and retries an operation that got no answer (see package
// livedns).
//
// Where an assertion spans several independent nameservers, a quorum
// is enough: a strict majority answering as expected. A server that
// fails to answer is tolerated, while a server that answers *wrongly*
// still fails the test.
//
// That tolerance is expressed as an ALLOWLIST of sanctioned statuses,
// never as a blocklist of known-bad ones. A blocklist bans the one
// wrong answer its author thought of and silently admits every other
// status, including any added to the resolver later; an allowlist
// fails on anything nobody explicitly sanctioned. Silence (timeout,
// error) is the only thing quorum exists to tolerate. A *wrong
// answer* — nxdomain for a name that exists, ok for one that does
// not, nodata for either — is never tolerated at any count.

// minNameservers is the smallest nameserver count a well-run zone is
// expected to publish.
