The first time I remember seeing this, it was quite, umm, interesting,
since the first thing that was done to figure out what was going on was
a dig for MX RR's (which worked, since the SOA was the bad RR), at
which point the mail started working (because the ANY query returned
only the MX RR's which was enough) for a while (until the MX RR's
expired), and then broke again.

Quite entertaining to watch from a distance, but not any fun for the
participants.
