Well... I never managed to get NAMED to return AA replies for
"type forward" zones.  I'm not a NAMED expert but it *seems*
it will only return AA replies when a zone is marked as
"type master"... but I may be wrong.  In any case it's a
sort of "black magic" to run things this way, using named
as a sort of "DNS caching proxy" (ala http proxy) in front
of rbldnsd... :)
