Your best bet is to monitor the line (set log +tcp/ip) and try
to figure out the difference between packets that you do and
don't want to trigger dialing. If there's no difference, I'm
afraid you're sunk - can't have your cake & eat it.
Personally, I don't give named a named.root. I just use
forwarders x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
options forward-only
Where x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y are my ISPs cache nameservers.
