There was a bug in the checking of the "blackhole" ACL in
dns_request_create*(), causing an address to be treated as included
in the ACL if it was explicitly *excluded*. Thus, leaving "blackhole"
unset had no effect, but setting it to "none" would cause any
destination addresses to be rejected for dns_request purposes. This
would cause zone transfer requests and SOA queries to fail, among
other things.
The bug has been fixed, and "blackhole { none; };" was added to the
xfer system test as a regression test.
