Bug Description
See: http://
Best done by quoting: "9.6 and earlier would allow messages without the AA bit (authoritative data) set to be accepted as answers if the rest of the message appeared to be an answer." & "other servers (...) also do not properly set the AA bit. This caused those domains to fail, and SERVFAIL returned to the client."
It's fixed upstream in BIND 9.7.1-P1. Is it possible to have this fix available to lucid?
