BIND-8/9 interface bug? Or is it FreeBSD?

[Jeremy Chadwick]

        Ah, you're right --  I definitely skipped over the "outgoing"
        phrase in Crist's note.  My apologies.

        I'll try taking a look at the interface without the outgoing
        ipfw blocks in place, and report back.  I'm starting to wonder
        if it's NOTIFY traffic...
