I was just bringing up Bind 8 on a machine, so I thought I'd drop this
little info for the heck of it. In the named.conf file, you should put
this in the options stanza:
options {
check-names master warn;
check-names slave warn;
check-names response warn;
};
This will keep the nameserver from punting any "illegal" hostnames that
it gets from a master file (primary in old-BIND-speak), a slave server
(secondary in old-BIND-speak), or a response from another server as in
the case that Brett found.
That's all for now.
