   Also, how does this work with regard to caching? Does a caching
   server know it has all the records so it doesn't have to bother the
   authoritative server?

=> at least the cache has all or no RR of a given type. With DNSSEC
it can know all the types for the name so even I don't believe
caches are so smart they can/shall be.
