Hi Ian,

the first thing you should do is to contact the zone owner to fix their 
nameservers/load-balancer. The zone/domain might be “legit”, but its 
nameservers are violating the DNS protocol. Maybe you won’t have to maintain a 
list of exceptions.

If that doesn’t work, this is the configuration option you are looking for:
