I cut it down so as not to expose the customer. I believe the ADDITIONAL
was EDNS0, but I can't reproduce these answers now that we have made the
change in configuration. I'm going set up some test servers, both with the
exact version we used (
http://www.monshouwer.eu/download/3rd_party/pdns-server/el6/x86_64/) and
some other versions, and see if I can reproduce it.

Either your MSDNS and BIND both have bugs (unlikely) or something weird is

I guess I could delegate a test zone to someone else's PowerDNS server and
try this out for myself. Weird if it has been tested and didn't cause any
problems.
