	You know, I've been recommending this kind of configuration for 
many years now, and IIRC, I even suggested that this be included in 
2nd Ed. of _DNS & BIND_ (although I don't think it ever made it).

	I'm starting to wonder if maybe it actually does make more sense 
to have the software insist that it work in *EITHER* 
authoritative/non-recursive/non-caching *OR* 
non-authoritative/recursive/caching-only modes *BUT* *NOT* *BOTH* 
unless you've actually read the documentation and found the option 
you need to use to force this mode of operation.


	Sigh....  So many clue-resistant people, such short 
clue-by-fours, and so little time to use them....
