Yes - and this:

zone "." {
        type slave;
        file "slave/root.slave";
        masters {
                192.5.5.241;    // F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                192.228.79.201; // B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                192.33.4.12;    // C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                192.112.36.4;   // G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
                193.0.14.129;   // K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
        };
        notify no;
};

prevents me from resolving hostnames in "my.domain". What I'm still wondering 
though, is this an oversight or by design? I can't imagine setups like mine 
are very rare. Doug?
