New description:

 This ticket covers part of implementing RFC 5001.

 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5001

 The RFC identifies a lot of information that could be returned.

 I propose that we provide configuration that supports:

 1. Disabling NSID completely
 2. Specifying a fixed string to be returned
 3. Returning gethostname()

 BIND 9's default is disabled, so possibly this is what BIND 10 should
 default to. Although I tend to think that option 3 is the best.
