So here's the question... If the FR server receives no requests, then nothing gets forwarded to the home server. Does this scenario fall under "does not respond to a request within the response_window"?
Your question answers itself. Did the home server fail to respond to a request? No, because there was no request sent.
That is, should a quiet server constantly toggle in and out of zombie state?
The server doesn't do anything that stupid.
If so, then "zombie" is not really indicative of a problem and I can safely ignore the scenario.
The "zombie" state is there for a reason. Ignore zombies at your peril. Alan DeKok.
