Hello,

I have two domains, intervarsity.ca and inter-varsity.ca, that are
identically configured.  The zone transfer is refused for
inter-varsity.ca.  Here is the relevant debugging output from the master
on level 2:

datagram from [216.138.224.26].2161, fd 22, len 34
XX /216.138.224.26/inter-varisty.ca/SOA/IN
req: nlookup(inter-varisty.ca) id 7877 type=6 class=1
req: found 'inter-varisty.ca' as 'ca' (cname=0)
denied query from [216.138.224.26].2161 for "inter-varisty.ca" SOA/IN
ns_req: answer -> [216.138.224.26].2161 fd=22 id=7877 size=34 rc=5

datagram from [216.138.224.26].2161, fd 22, len 33
XX /216.138.224.26/intervarsity.ca/SOA/IN
req: nlookup(intervarsity.ca) id 26821 type=6 class=1
req: found 'intervarsity.ca' as 'intervarsity.ca' (cname=0)
ns_req: answer -> [216.138.224.26].2161 fd=22 id=26821 size=164 rc=0

Why is inter-varsity.ca being found as 'ca' and refused whereas
intervarsity.ca is found properly?  Is this a bug?  The master is
running Bind 8.3.3, the slave is running Bind 9.2.1

Thank you,
Lauren Matheson
