I've obviously been asleep and not following along with the announcements of 
new features in BIND 9.9 until today. . . both Evan's blog post 
<http://www.isc.org/community/blog/201109/isc-bind-990a1-feature-preview> and 
the announcement of next week's webinar include NXDOMAIN redirection as the 
first new feature. I'm really surprised by that - is this something that BIND 
users were clamoring for? Or is it a situation where other servers were 
providing this feature, and BIND needed it to maintain parity?

Obviously those of us who find this idea disturbing don't need to enable it, 
and DNSSEC provides an effective defense against those who would enable it* but 
it still leaves me curious. 

*except that perhaps those who enable this feature will use it as an excuse to 
avoid enabling validation, which would be a very bad result, IMO. . .

Bill.
