BIND 8.2: 99% server load when lame delegation occurs (reprised)

As this problem still persits, perhaps I can take a different approach
with my questioning:

To recap: in BIND 8.2.1, if a client queries our nameservers for domain
information about a lame domain, each of our nameservers that is listed as
an InterNIC nameserver for that domain suddenly throttles to 90%+ usage on
their respective boxes for a period of seconds (usually 20-90 seconds).
