Although I'd bet that the old J address is from the root.hints
hard coded into the BIND 9 source code, since it isn't in the
start up files, and isn't being served by the root servers any
more.

I think it would only return the old address if the secondary
has been prevented from doing any look-ups. If it is
authoritative only this is okay, although it's referals may be
incorrect, it'll only issue them in response to bad queries -
GIGO.

Still sounds like the root.cache file is not being used
correctly.
