Depends what "OK" is supposed to mean.

I don't know why you should have to do that.

It would probably be a lot easier and more robust to implement a 
completely new custom resolver that *wraps* an existing resolver, rather 
than trying to extend an existing resolver via a subclass.  This removes 
many irrelevant implementation details from consideration (such as 
writeMessage and gotResolverError) and gives you an obvious place to put 
your redirect logic - in an errback on the Deferred returned by one of 
the wrapped resolver's lookup/query methods.
