Getting different name resolution for news.google.com frommaster and slave BIND

[Lightner, Jeff]

Your nitpick is warrantless - it should have been obvious from context
that I was speaking of the general purpose of these name servers from
our perspective - not implying they were somehow authoritative for
recursive queries.    If it makes you feel better I'll call them my
"pedantic" and "irrelevant" servers rather than my "master" and "slave".

A nitpick here: the terms "master" and "slave" only apply in regards 
to authoritative name service. When you are doing recursion, this 
distinction is irrelevant.

And no, this is not odd at all. This is typical for many or most busy 
domains: they do a rudimentary form of load balancing through DNS 
results. Nothing interesting here.
