Is Magic Nonlethal Damage subject to Damage Resistance?

[Baelin]

With reference to the game maker's post on the following thread:
(http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinder RPG/rules/damageTypesASeriousQuestionDesignersPleaseChimeIn&page=1#6)

I'd like to find out whether Nonlethal Damage from a magical source is also subject to DR?

On a side note, does anyone know where exactly I can find the rules on the Bludgeoning/Piercing/Slashing spells bypassing DR thing? I know i've seen it somewhere before from Complete Arcane or something back in the days of 3.5 but where is it featured in Pathfinder?

Thanks.

Magical damage is not subject to DR unless it is stated as physical(slashing, piercing, bludgeonoing). <--My interpretatino.

RAW-->

Spells, spell-like abilities, and energy attacks (even nonmagical fire) ignore damage reduction

By RAW any damage from a spell overcomes DR unless the spell specifically states otherwise.

I would say that DR applies to spells once it deals damage that dr applies to.

Spells that deal slashing damage are reduced by DR that applies to slashing damage.
So spells that deal nonlethal damage are reduced by DR that applies to nonlethal damage.
Both exceptions to the rule:

I may be wrong here. Ialways thought the reason magic attacks bypassed dr was because they almost universally do s Pacific damage types. Force fire etc

Pretty sure magic nl is still nl damage and subject to dr. But the wording given above suggests i am wrong.
