you probablly want -R too, so you ignore the RD flag
on incoming queries.

the key to getting plan 9 resolution working right is
to have the proper ipnet configuration that has a
proper netmask s.t. ndb/ipquery $sys dns gives a
credible answer.  e.g.

ladd; ndb/query ipnet athensnat
ipnet=athensnat ip=192.168.0.0 ipmask=/120 fs=aska.quanstro.net ipgw=192.168.0.4 gw=dexter-peak.quanstro.net dns=192.168.0.136 dnsdomain=quanstro.net authdom=plan9.quanstro.net auth=ladd cpu=ladd smtp=ladd
ladd; ndb/ipquery sys ladd dns
dns=192.168.0.136
ladd; ndb/query sys ladd
ip=192.168.0.136 sys=ladd ether=001d92350045 dom=ladd.quanstro.net proto=il

ps.  the limit is 214 characters in that particular textrr.  one
would expect 256, evidently the difference is the meaning
of life.
