Correct, I'm just moving the finger pointing to the firewall instead of
the DNS itself, since the latter may be behaving correctly.  I work with
these types of firewalls on a regular basis, and might open up a case
with our vendor (Juniper), to see if they will fix the behavior.  Cisco
and others might have the same problem, though, so it could be
widespread.
