mention of the fact that it's not valid inside a view.

There is the "doc/misc/options" file in the BIND sources that lists the many 
possible items that can be inside a "view", along with 
the "options", "server", "zone", etc.

There is the "doc/misc/options" file in the BIND sources that lists the many 
possible configuration items available and what section of the configuration 
that can be used.  The "view" section can include many different items, 
but "blackhole" isn't one of them.

This also identifies "blackhole" as only being part of the "options" 
clause.  Also, the ARM mentions "blackhole" as part of the "options" section 
and not in the "view" section.

Yes, we are back to that.  Another "can't get there from here".

Then again, I've never been sure what the original requester was asking 
for.  If he didn't want to give an answer out to someone on a particular 
network, then the "blackhole" option would seem to be a perfect solution in 
the first place.

Thanks for your help on this list,
