So what do we do? We currently point the blocked domains to addresses of

really prefer avoiding that for the simple reason that there is no way
to distinguish that SERVFAIL from one caused by e.g. a domain owner
configuration error.

Perhaps we need to expand RCODE to be the full octet, and indicate "blocked
for legal reasons" with RCODE value 25.
