Agree, but those resulted in "LAME server" error messages, which seem to be 
very common. I think this is different. For example.

>Oct 23 13:18:57 lulu named[112]: Malformed response from [128.32.206.9].53 
>(query section mismatch (ns.netbsd.org IN A6))

The IP address 128.32.206.9 resolves to ns2.berkeley.edu. However:

>Oct 23 13:19:00 lulu named[112]: Malformed response from [192.5.5.241].53 
>(query section mismatch (NS2.BERKELEY.EDU IN A))

192.5.5.241, for those who don't recognise it, is actually a _root_ 
nameserver. Very unlikely to be misconfigured!

These are just random samples from my syslog. I think there's something 
else going amiss here.

Any other suggestions?
