Fair enough. `dig xmlsoft.org @dns.iinet.net.au` didn't work for me...I

I've not tried bind9 on Linux, but I've been using BIND 9 elsewhere for
years and I've not had the problem you describe. More significantly, UWA
is using bind9 on Debian (presumably the woody package, but I don't know
for sure).
