The question is whether we should gracefully handle this failure and
return 0 records found (as done < 2.1.17)?

I can't replicate this neither when running dirmnagr as

  dirmngr --options /dev/null --debug ipc,dns -v \
          --log-file socket:// --daemon

nor when bypassing the new libdns:

  dirmngr --options /dev/null --debug ipc,dns -v \
          --log-file socket:// --daemon --standard-resolver

What options do you have in your dirmngr.conf ?


Salam-Shalom,
