To contribute to the BIND issues, I find some interesting problems with
-current BIND.

Say you live in an environment in which machines are of the form

        foo.bar.baz.quux

where foo is the machine.  Say you want to get to another machine
in a parallel subdomain, such as

	bar.foo.baz.quux

Under previous versions of BIND (the one under StunOS comes to mind),
one can simply, from machine foo(.bar.baz.quux), say:

	# ping bar.foo

and the resolver will automagically begin adding parts of the domain name
beyond the unresolved point, i.e.

	TRY	bar.foo.	...FAIL
	TRY	bar.foo.baz.	...FAIL
	TRY	bar.foo.baz.quux.	...OK

Why is this now broken?
