[dns-server] Answers for the rack's zones should be authoritative#8120
Conversation
This makes most answers authoritative and changes tests to match. This won't change rack-internal DNS behavior; we don't rely on `aa` in answers for anything internal. External DNS servers will also now set the `aa` bit for queries for silo domains, though, so our DNS answers will look a bit more normal. We're authoritative for `NXDomain` answers to names under the zones a server is authoritative for that are not present, though we're not (yet) sending an SOA record to indicate how long a client can cache the negative reuslt. We are *not* authoritative for `ServFail` answers even if they are for names we're authoritative for. The `aa` bit here has no RFC-defined meaning.

aain answers for anything internal. External DNS servers will also now set theaabit for queries for silo domains, though, so our DNS answers will look a bit more normal.We're authoritative for
NXDomainanswers to names under the zones a server is authoritative for that are not present, though we're not (yet) sending an SOA record to indicate how long a client can cache the negative reuslt.We are not authoritative for
ServFailanswers even if they are for names we're authoritative for. Theaabit here has no RFC-defined meaning, and this is more straightforward than trying to partitionServFailinto "our names" and "not our names" kinds.
