If nothing loads nothing gets cached and you can get in a cycle of very slow 404s.

The current abomination I'm working on avoids this by caching the errors and serving them for several hours...

One of the worst outages I witnessed was due to negative DNS caching on the most outer router that took the company a few (3 or 5) working days to fix *after* issue was identified.

Is this a designed self-cache poisoning? Abomination indeed.
