	Upgrade to atleast BIND 9.2.5 or BIND 9.3.1.  .FR has IPv6
	servers and named was ignoring the error code.

1773.   [bug]           Fast retry on host / net unreachable. [RT #13153]

	If Debian Sarge Stable only has BIND 9.2.4 they are doing you
	a disservice.  They are over 2 years behind on our maintenance
	releases.
