This is a bit off topic so I'm putting it in another thread.

Are there any tools or test suites available to test for RFC compliance? We
have created several tests in which we compare query results with the output
of Bind, but it's far from complete.

I think the whole DNS developer community would benefit from such a test suite.

Anyone interested?
