should namecache_fetch support negative responses?

Hi,
libsmb/namecache.c:namecache_fetch() returns true only if
the gencache_get call was successful and if an IP address
is returned (line 212):
return *num_names > 0; /* true only if some ip has been fetched */
On the other hand, the call of namecache_fetch in
libsmb/namequery.c:internal_resolve_name()suggests,
that namecache_fetch() supports negative responses (line 1159):
if (namecache_fetch(name, name_type, return_iplist, return_count)) {
/* This could be a negative response */
return (*return_count > 0);
}
What is the desired behaviour?
Cheers, Michael
