I've had an off-list discussion with Sachin Patel, asking him what he
was actually trying to achieve. It turns out that it is this:

"I am just trying to fiddle with dns server to block certain users to
certain resources."

I have suggested that he look for solutions to *that* problem, rather
than starting by modifying BIND.

That said, there may be ways to use the DNS to achieve what he needs,
and this is not such a bad place to ask for pointers in that direction.

Is it?

Regards, K.
