I've never heard of such a report until now. And if true, that would be 
shockingly bizarre behavior.  In the past when I've heard similar, I 
have a 100% success rate in discovering it's actually a misconfiguration 
of authoritative records.

Feel free to email me directly if you ever find yourself encountering a 
similar situation like that again and I'll be happy to troubleshoot it.

Thanks,
