It doesn't seem like we can quickly and reliably test for the kind of
failures we had under 8.3.

I'm certainly expecting that BIND 9 will be the way out of this mess,

bugs.
(Or, alternatively, another local DNS cache. But right now the only
real alternative seems to be Bernstein's dnscache, and that has an
unacceptable license.)
