Wonderful!  Where do I get the 2.9.14 release?  I cannot seem to find it
on the powerdns site anywhere?
Is it in CVS?

Clint, what I changed today with the recursion-check-nxdomain feature is
that powerdns will check if it is authoritative before it sends the
question
to the recursor, that is what changed.
