Correct in most cases (there's an edge case where a server is [mis] 
configured as authoritative with its own empty . and its regular 
zones and allows global querying; it's similar to asking a root 
server for anything in a nonexistent TLD).


>You either get SERVFAIL or you  get NS records back as a referral.

Or REFUSED.
