Log:
  MFC r318578:
  
  Fix non-recoverable name resolution failures due to negative cache
  entries never expiring. This patch honours the negative cache timeout.
  
  To test/experience the failure do the following:
  
  1. Edit /etc/ncd.conf to adjust the cache timeouts as follows:
  
  	positive-time-to-live hosts 30
  	negative-time-to-live hosts 1
  
  2. Ensure that nsswitch.conf hosts line contains something like:
  
  	hosts: files cache dns
  
  	Note that cache must be specified before dns.
  
  3. Start nscd.
  
  4. Run the following command:
  
  	while true; do nc -z -w 3 www.google.com 80; sleep 5; done
  
  5. While running the command, remove or comment out all nameserver
     statements in /etc/resolv.conf. After a short while you will notice
     non-recoverable name rsolution failures.
  
  6. Uncomment or replace all nameserver statements back into
     /etc/resolv.conf. Take note that name resolution never recovers.
     To recover nscd must be restarted. This patch fixes this.
