   Thanks, Mark - that was it.  Now one other question, if you don't mind.
Our firewall apparently will let you configure the size that a EDNS packet
can be before it gets dropped.  Is there a recommendation as to how to set 
this to allow legitimate responses without opening up BIND to a buffer
overflow or other DoS attack?  Thanks...
