I thought they did; make sure that bind is running with the "-D" option.
Just checked, and a basic install of FC6 (rawhide) doesn't turn this on
by default either.  Which might explain some of the stupidity I've been
seeing WRT to networking changes recently on my laptop.

Note that split DNS, while possible, isn't quite used yet.  We've got
all the bits in place, just need to hook it up for VPN.
