This is especially upsetting in an OpenStack and server environment where external DNS is being used to reach/resolve API endpoints and other systems such as database servers. A small outage to DNS becomes a potentially unbounded outage when the SERVFAIL responses are cached indefinitely, requiring manual intervention on each host in addition to fixing the cause of the SERVFAIL.
