My resolvers, running BIND 9.7.3P3, are having a difficult time resolving the 
MX record for the zone "epza.gov.tw.".

When I run "dig +trace", this is the response I get:

$ dig +trace epza.gov.tw. mx

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3-P3 <<>> +trace epza.gov.tw. mx

But if I query any of [abc].twnic.net.tw. directly for the IP address of 
dns.epza.gov.tw, I get an answer.  Example:

$ dig @a.twnic.net.tw. epza.gov.tw. mx   

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3-P3 <<>> @a.twnic.net.tw. epza.gov.tw. mx
; (2 servers found)

It appears to me that BIND is seeing this response, and then ignoring the IP in 
the Additional section.

Any idea why this might be happening?
