	Use a $TTL directive to fix this.  See RFC 2308 and/or
	http://www.nominum.com/resources/faqs/bind-faq.html

	BIND 8, behaves like any other dns client and uses a system assigned
	port to make queries.  Please ensure that your firewall allow these
	through and the answers back.  You can also fix the port used for
	UDP queries via query-source.
