DNS has two levels of tombstones, because clients so often do a
delete/add cycle it would quickly fill the DB (this used to happen,
long ago I was helping out a school with 100,000 DNS tombstones).

So objects become DNS 'deleted' but still owned (for SD purposes) by
the original name, then those get scavenged and become properly deleted
(so no squatting on that name).
