Some TLD registries, however, make unreasonable demands regarding the behaviour of servers to which they delegate zones. Most notably the .fr and .it registries, which apparently demand that servers return a (non-authoritative!, in the case of .it) referral to the root servers when they are lame.
Do you have a pointer to this rule of theirs? In many cases an NS is lame simply because no DNS server is listening on the IP address which is associated with the NS in question. I.e. that someone has moved the server without talking to the parent zone administrator. paf
