Well spotted. As part of a recent cleanup, we removed certain functions we
thought were duplicates within PowerDNS. One of these duplicates turned out
not to be.

This in effect meant we were storing empty packets in the cache, and serving
them as answers to subsequent questions.

Can you verify against
http://powerdnssec.org/downloads/pdns-3.0-rc2.20110419.2176.tar.gz
or the associated packages on http://powerdnssec.org/downloads/packages/ ?

That would be most appreciated.
