Well, bad luck with this hack then. :-(

Apparently this was already pointed out by Beat Bodenmann shortly after
my mail.

Thanks for pointing out. Your solution is much a nicer than my approach.
Looks like Scalpell vs. Hammer. :)

You are right. I was more referring to his presentation-style at SwiNOG
#26 which referred a lot to "what's that hex?" ;)

IMHO, this is also one of the things that unbound is superior to BIND.

You can simply configure "local-data" in the general configuration file in
one line:
local-data: "time-g.netgear.com 9600 IN A 209.249.181.22"

It would probably be much better to start using ntpd on this 
server. It is not the first time, that this has happen to the IRC 
Server.

Netgear has said that this is an known issue and is resolved with a
software upgrade.
