Today, actually!  Take a look at the BIND 9.2 dig's -y
option (for specifying a TSIG key) and +bufsize option
(for setting EDNS0 buffer size).

Also see the +nssearch and +trace options, for help with
debugging problems, and ixfr=version (as a query type)
for troubleshooting IXFR issues.

Really nice work.
