B.T.W. named uses "manditory glue" and "sibling glue"

manditory glue: glue records beneath the zone being delegated which are
	referenced in the delegation.
sibling glue: is glue records that are in / below a sibling zone.

The source of bad instances of both of these are easy to track down as you
just check the parent zones.

Named allows both manditory and sibling glue.

Then there is "other glue" (if/when) we sign glue then these become
viable.

Named currently doesn't support other glue and removes it from
incoming zone transfers.
