[ale] named loosing a domain?

[Eric Z. Ayers]

When you run a DNS on a dialup box, you sometimes run into problems 
because of 'negative' caching.  It is caching the fact that it tried
to get that domain once before and got no response.  

I don't know how to fix this, but I haven't read the BIND
documentation lately.
