Is gndrsh the only multi-homed machine you have?  Since gndrsh is also
the nameserver you are resolving from, you will not see the problem with
NFS so long as any client is on a net local to gndrsh.  Bind is smart
enough to order its results to any client on a local net since it can
easily determine which is "closest" to the client.
