   Yes.   I  have  never  quite  understood why bind doesn't allow me to
define NS (and glue) entries for  domains  in  the  cache  file.   These
records  would  never  timeout.   Then  all  I need do is ensure that my
internal info is kept up-to-date, and restart the server any time  there
is a change (not difficult).
