The isc has released a version of bind 9 that 'fixes' the problem :-

                BIND 9.1.3-P1 is now available.
                                                                                                                                                             
In response to high demand from our users, ISC is releasing a patch for BIND
to support the declaration of "delegation-only" zones in caching/recursive
name servers.  Briefly, a zone which has been declared "delegation-only" will
be effectively limited to containing NS RRs for subdomains, but no actual
data outside its apex (for example, its SOA RR and apex NS RRset).  This can
be used to filter out "wildcard" or "synthesized" data from NAT boxes or from
authoritative name servers whose undelegated (in-zone) data is of no interest.

Will be implementing it soon on uklinux nameservers ...
