Hi Stephen,

3.0.1 works great, so there is no real need to fall back to djbdns I 
believe.

The problem is in 3.1.1 as far as I can tell, I have tested several 
recursors in the past and haven't seen this qmail-behavior before.
It's not up to me to warn or advise others about this, but I think it 
would be smart to fall-back to 3.0.1 if you use qmail in your network, 
until Bert replies about this.
That could take a bit today, since everybody has a day off in the 
Netherlands.

Kind regards,

Jeroen
