Just because you have not explictity queried for a EDU domain does
not mean the nameserver didn't need to.
We fixed some bugs with detecting and reporting referral around
BIND 8.2.1. The current BIND release in BIND 8.2.2-P5. The
EDU server are almost never lame so I suspect you have a old BIND.
See the following for security reasons to upgrade:
