BIND 9.1.0 / SunOS 5.8 - intermittent lookup failures

[Kevin Darcy]

For sharedata.com and optionslink.com, the NS records in the zone don't
match the delegation records. This can cause problems for some nameservers
which strictly follow the "credibility" rules of RFC 2181 (as the later
versions of BIND 8 and as BIND 9 does). For hotmail.net, both delegated
nameservers are currently lame. That domain is broken, even for older
nameservers...
