1. Why is this pull request needed and what does it do?
As cited in #4288, per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6604#section-3, when following a CNAME chain the response code sent to the client should be the same response code received when resolving the target of the final link in the chain. Strictly this means we should be passing through the exact Rcode received when looking up the final target. But since file uses an alternate response code datatype
file.Result
which does not map 1:1 to DNS response codes, making that happen might require some larger scope refactoring. So for now, just addressing response codes that do map.2. Which issues (if any) are related?
fixes #4288
3. Which documentation changes (if any) need to be made?
4. Does this introduce a backward incompatible change or deprecation?
