It would be nice if DNS weren't so dependent on server operators doing the
right thing.  But unless a major redesign is done, that's the way it will
stay.

It's strongly recommended that nameserver operators (especially ISPs) use
separate servers for authoritative and caching name service.  That way, if
they have extraneous zones on their authoritative servers, it won't affect
the clients who use their caching servers.  Unfortunately, I don't think
most small ISPs follow this advice.
