 I hate to disagree with my esteemed colleague, :) however I think in the 
 case where the name server does not return an error (such as servfail or 
 nxdomain) the proper response for getaddrinfo() is EAI_NONAME. The 
 thread at 
 https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2011-April/083542.html has a 
 good discussion about why.
