It would require changing the ABI for nsswitch modules, which is what nscd
uses.  One of these is the nss_dns module, but nscd's work is generic to
whatever flavors you configure in /etc/nsswitch.conf, so it caches results
from files, nis, ldap, whatever.  The interface we have now for these
modules does not have a way to give back extra information with the answer.
