[dns-wg] DNS lameness notifications

Dear colleagues, I was wondering if there is a detailed description of what and how is tested in order to check the lameness of a server (i.e. how are the names resolved, timeouts and retransmits of the queries, checks made,....)? Any pointer would be welcome. The background is that I got notifications ("Unable to resolve nameserver ") which are most probably wrong, unless the resolving algorithm is very delicate...
