Check out the 'syncres.cc' file in the PowerDNS tar.gz (http://www.powerdns.com/downloads) for one way to deal with this problem. It is not really a bug in DNS design, it is a resolver challenge. Different implementations solve it in different ways. One of the hardest problems is to make sure that you don't end up in a loop but break out high enough so you get records back. DJB has some notes on this somewhere on http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/notes.html which describe how his software and BIND solve this problem.
