There has been a beta release of bind 4.9.3 which had this problem.
That bind version has been superceded by newer beta versions, which
in turn are obsoleted by 4.9.3-REL (-P1).
Earlier versions of bind do not have this problem; later versions
don't have it either as explained above. It is just some beta-versions
that used to have this problem
Since FreeBSD uses shared libraries, I think it is easy to replace
the obsolete beta code with a more recent resolver.
Does this solve your problem?
