i mean of course ANCOUNT=0 RCODE=0, thank you for your correction.

i think that if LOCALHOST. could be made to return A 127.0.0.1 and AAAA ::1
then we could use LOCALHOST. as a meaningless value for SOA.MNAME, but that
would just be there to handle the case where RFC 2136 initiators were talking
to an SOA.MNAME that did not match any NS.NSDNAME, in which case they are
already out of spec and it's difficult to say how much effort should be spent
changing the spec further.
