Ah, I did not see that.  I certainly don't intentionally have any
unusual configuration going on.  My uplink is via a domestic ADSL
modem/router which shouldn't be touching any DNS traffic.

What I _have_ noticed before is that my BIND setup does occasionally
return 192.168.0.1 for non-existent domains, or for domains about
which it can't find any information, even temporarily.  This is
unintentional, and is clearly a bug in my configuration.  Maybe this
is a specific case of that bug?

I am loathed to ask the newsgroup|list to do my debugging for me, but
if anyone has the time and inclination, I've copied my config and zone
files here:
