serious problem with name based accounts

Hello,

it seems we customers on certain ISP's cannot access namebased website at all. I have tested this myself, using my primary ISP I can access all sites just fine - however using another ISP, I cannot access any of the namebased websites.

Customers are also reporting this problem. Server is just fine, up and running, but certain people simply cannot access them. No traceroutes, nothing.

I remember reading something about this and apparently it has to do with the new BIND server (9.x ?) - apparently the new bind is less forgiving to improperly configured ISP's .. what exactly the problem is I cannot recall.

If anyone knows what I am talking about and can enlighten me, I would very much appreciate it.

Suggestions of workarounds for this would also be appreciated.
Thanks
