I agree, and that was my earlier point.  On the question of invalid class, I
think its a question of ignoring data which isn't part of the zone, because
the zone is class-specific.  But I'm glad BIND 8 tightened this up.  I ran
into the problem in the days of BIND 4.9.3, when UNIX vendors were shipping
variants of 4.8
