if you do not include a hints file in nsd's database, it will return SERVFAIL.
Are you saying that it will hand out a referral if this information is configured into the database? If so, then I would be much less unhappy with the way it is working. Maybe this code isn't on by default, but it's much better than not being there at all.
if you set up bind9 with a authoritative-only view it will return REFUSED. in a "normal" configuration, it will use pre-compiled root-hints.
