It's not just wikipedia.org that's broken, obviously. I see this
error in my logs for 19 domains since July 3:<br>

Even if PowerDNS is the only source of this issue, and even if the
new version of PowerDNS is released tomorrow, I'm sure there will
still be sites running the old version a year from now. So just
relying on a PowerDNS release to fix this problem seems unwise.<br>

Users are experiencing this problem <i>now</i> in the field, and
more users will be experiencing it as BIND is upgraded in more and
more places. Every single user relying on a Fedora 15 DNS server,
for example, is going to see occasional unnecessary DNS timeouts
when trying to resolve host names.<br>
<br>
It seems clear to me that a generally available, generally
applicable fix to BIND is needed to avoid this issue and perhaps
similar issues like it.<br>
