I think I did have same problem
with 9.4.1p1, 9.5p2 and 9.6p1. Look

[dieu at brandmauer ~]$ host www.bbc.co.uk 127.0.0.1
Using domain server:
Name: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Aliases:

www.bbc.co.uk is an alias for www.bbc.net.uk.
www.bbc.net.uk has address 212.58.253.68
Host www.bbc.net.uk not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
[dieu at brandmauer ~]$


I did sniff connecction and It seems that the query that fails is a MX request 
of www.bbc.net.mx. Odd thing.

When I ask to a exchange dns server, query is okay.

Is this a bug?
