One of my contacts noticed that you cannot query 42.fr's SOA with
BIND: SERVFAIL. Querying other types, or using Unbound (or Google
Public DNS) instead of BIND works.

The only thing special he sees is the double SOA:

% dig SOA 42.fr

; <<>> DiG 9.9.2-P1 <<>> SOA 42.fr
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

I'm not sure of what the RFC say about that...
