Most likely your option 3 Brian. There can be expected that there will
be some customers who’se interweb thingy appears to die on them. Hence

What action will those servers take when they receive a request from a
non
Xtra IP?
Will they :
1. Quietly discard the request (as in, blocked by a front end firewall)
2. Return a referal to another DNS server e.g. .co.nz etc.
3. Return "invalid domain name"
Cheers
