Public bug reported:

See: http://www.isc.org/community/blog/201007/compatibility-issues-
bind-970-and-971

Best done by quoting: "9.6 and earlier would allow messages without the
AA bit (authoritative data) set to be accepted as answers if the rest of
the message appeared to be an answer." & "other servers (...) also do
not properly set the AA bit. This caused those domains to fail, and
SERVFAIL returned to the client."

It's fixed upstream in BIND 9.7.1-P1. Is it possible to have this fix
available to lucid?
