I didnt realize that a NS lookup still sent a status query; I was using

           Host "ns2" {
               Service UDP/DNSQ {
                sendnotify:     no
                expect: ^...(\x80|\x00)
                }
             }

in conjunction with the previous listed config, but thought that argus
wouldnt care about a status query when asking for a specific record/type.
speaking of which, why does argus care about a status query when asking for
yahoo's ns records?


i think the FAQ should be updated to specifically say that any queries to
either tinydns or dnscache from the dbjdns package must not use UDP/DNS...
(to prevent dumbo's like me who kinda knew the answer from making the
mistake)
