	This is from the client receiving a response to a SOA query
	for the zone which doesn't have the AA bit set.

	dig -b 0.0.0.0 yyyyyyyyyyyy.yyy soa +norec @xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

	on the slave to reproduce the query.

	Do you have the zones configured in the external view on the
	master?

	Are you sure the slave is talking to the right view at the
	right time.  Check the query log (enable if need be).
