Hi Paul, That was our starting point; however, it turned out that resolvers wouldn't cache the name error, I think because the SOA returned with the name error in the authority section was clearly bogus (i.e. conflicted with the root zone SOA presumably already cached by the resolver client).
I too have always preferred the idea of specifying configuration for standard software over custom code (neat though the custom code Warren is running is). We just couldn't figure out how to do it. Did we miss something? Joe Aue Te Ariki! He toki ki roto taku mahuna!

So please no requirements for the soa other than that it be at or above the qname.
