Description: Prior to bind 9 it was customary to set the option auth-nxdomain to yes to fool older nameservers into believing that non-authoratative negative answers from cache are actually authoratative. Beginning with bind 9 auth-nxdomain should be set to no by default.
See "DNS and Bind 5/e" by Cricket Liu & Paul Albitz, O'Reilly, 2006 for details.

Package version: bind 9.10.0.P2-1

Steps to fix: In the file /etc/named.conf

auth-nxdomain yes; ---> auth-nxdomain no;
