well, we did tests with our internet provider, who is running the 
forwarder. He told me his logs are showing AAAA records requested from our 
named when starting. AFAIK this has something to do with IPV6. Our named 
(8.4.1-P1) is running on a non IPV6 system (Ultrix), their named 
(=forwarder 192.92.138.35) is a 9.2.2. So who could a non-IPV6 request AAA 
records?
Today, I restarted the master of another domain, also (8.4.1-P1), non-IPV6, 
but different operating system (AIX 4.1.x), different internet provider 
(forwarder 193.101.111.20) - same errors.
Maybe this is a problem 8.4.x using 9.x.x forwarders? Or their 9.x.x have a 
bug ?
