I've always expected that to mean that it attempts the next on the list in case of a failure to receive a message from one, it attempts the next. Some of the people in that bug are saying something that would imply that it also attempts the next on the list in the case of NxDomain/NoData, etc., terminal errors in the lookup.
Once one of these is received, it's been my expectation that the query should been marked as failed, and not reattempted.
