Well, I sure have, on two different machines. It used to be that
resolves on NetBSD.ORG in anything but exact case would fail, although
once one with the correct case is resolved, the local cache would
correctly respond to either case.

Now I see the behavior he sees.

It sure seems like a LOT of local name servers are doing something Very
Wrong, then, and only for the netbsd.org domain.  I have never had
either of these problems with ANY other domain on either of the systems. 
How come these broken name servers are only broken when dealing with
NetBSD.ORG?
