Which TTL value is supposed to be used for negative caching time?

That's an awful lot of versions of BIND. Can't you be more specific?
as a caching server. We are seeing that NXDOMAIN
replies are being cached using $TTL time of a given zone instead of its
SOA in TTL time.
Post some evidence? AFAIK, even very early versions of BIND 9 had the
RFC2308 negative caching algorithm. Bear in mind the max-ncache-ttl
setting which defaults to 3 hours.
-Is $TTL suppose to override SOA's min TTL for the negative caching?
RFC 2308 is not clear.
How could "$TTL override the SOA's min TTL"? The $TTL value doesn't exist
in the compiled zone, and of course $TTL could occur many times in the input,
with different arguments. Maybe you mean "the TTL value of the SOA record"
or something like that?
