"Empirically" is because BIND9 attempts to detect other BIND9 servers, and if it thinks the other server isn't BIND9, then it uses the traditional protocol.

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, Dean, why in he|| would you want to *do* something that silly? Since the only identifiable reason to pretend to be BIND9 *is to get that protocol modification*, if you can't do that protocol, and you claim to be BIND9 anyway, you seem to deserve what you get.
