I'm not in not in a position at the moment to try my better system, but doc
(Domain Obscenity Checker) running under bind-4.9.2 does report a
delegation error for netbsd.org. - specifically that the nameserver list
from the org servers doesn't correspond with that for the netbsd.org
authoritative servers (sun-lamp.pc.cs.cmu.edu is listed amongst those but
not under netbsd.org. for any of the authoritative org servers).

Anyway it might be worth a quick check.

who's hoping the next release includes bind-4.9.3 along with associated
checking tools like doc & dnswalk and an admonition to use them. A lot of
people in Australia are complaining about the time it takes for domains to
be registered, but a large fraction of the delays occur when these people
haven't set up their side properly. Tools to verify domain configuration
would be an all-round win - a bit like the benefits of using prototypes &
lint.
