|   The only definite solution is to follow the qmail rule which states that
|   dns ANY queries should return less than 512 bytes. I took out some TXT
|   records from our dns that were getting returned with the query. I think
|   that may have solved the problem - although I'm not entirely convinced
|   yet. 

Unfortunately, the serial number wasn't updated, as far as I can see. Thus
liddell.cstr.ed.ac.uk returns an answer of 489 bytes (which is below the
512 byte limit) with serial # 1999179327, while xlab-0.ed.ac.uk returns an
answer of 895 bytes (also serial # 1999179327).
