We recently upgraded from bind 8.1.2 to 8.2.2-P5 and started seeing lots
more bad referrals. We see them for our own domain and subdomains and for
.com and even ".". Each time I check the master servers for any of these
zones they appear to be ok. We're also using forwarders. Is it possible 
that packets are timing out and causing these bad referrals?
