What method is in place to ensure that the cache is, #1, checked before emitting priming queries, #2, that if there is already data (complete or

data is always external?

Inquiring Minds want to know.

There is no such method in place. This document describes how to prime resolvers and when you should, but does not prohibit any other use of the same DNS queries when priming is not needed.
