Bogus A record sounds like a good suggestion; thanks.

> Named tried and failed to query a nameserver at 2001:dc7::1, which is an IPv6
global address. Does your box have a global IPv6 connectivity, which is required
to communicate with such an address ? It's usually allright if it doesn't, named
will eventually query the next nameserver with an IPv4 address in the list.

Yep, box should be IPv6 connected :-

tiny:~# ifconfig | grep inet6
          inet6 addr: fe80::208:c7ff:fe72:9cd7/64 Scope:Link
          inet6 addr: fe80::260:8ff:fe0b:e97/64 Scope:Link
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

dump if it's fresh enough.

OK, I'll Google for cache dump; thanks for the suggestions.
