  | When resolving, BIND 8 and 9 do reject
  | all records that are not within the domain whose authoritative
  | qservers are being queried.

That's broken, and should be fixed.  If it really is as you have
explained it, it guarantees that some perfectly legal DNS configurations
can never be properly resolved.

  | If they did not, we would
  | be seeing much more cases of cache poisoning that we do now.

How?   No-one is suggesting that these records be put in the cache.
How can the cache be poisoned without that?
