Not surprisingly, they have fixed the problem:
1/23/2003
fixed NXDOMAIN bug:
clients would get NXDOMAIN if node existed but rrtype
for that node didn't exist (thanks to djb for pointing
this out). This was due to a typo (bad tab reformatting)
I still wonder why Rob wants to run a python DNS server if he's looking
for small footprint apps.
