Yes. Why should anyone expect a server to be coded to accept an
illegal configuration.
BIND 4 and early BIND 8 issued warnings thinking that server
administators were compentent and would correct the errors
reported. We know now that a vast number arn't compentent and
that the only way to get incorrect configurations fixed is to
make them fail.
