Non-authoritative answer:

[dnsadmin at ttd.net]

	Hi.

	Sometimes I had this problem: all was correct, but the response
was non-authoritative. I use Solaris 7 and named 8.1.2. The solution I'v
found is delete an rewrite the zone in named.conf, and it works ¿?. I
think It must by an extrange bug of named.

	Bye.
