This may mean that the model used by BIND isn't applicable to a specific problem, and that's fine. For instance, there are also "redirect references" (separate protocol). Historically, there was also talk about "direct reference resources" but as far as I can tell from the mailing list archives, nobody was interested in pursueing that.
