bind: how to accept authoritative answers only?

[Mike Tancsa]

With the help of a few others on the FreeBSD list, the problem has been 
narrowed down to the way sendmail is built on FreeBSD.  Still not sure if 
its totally a sendmail issue, but if you build sendmail with NETINET6, we 
get these problems exchanging mail with LAME domains.
