Personal question: always replying TRUE when a test is no longer pertinent. Is it acceptable?

Some domaines (for instance the TLD ".at") are set up in such a way that the "primary nameserver" field (MNAME) of the SOA record reports the place where the zone generator ran, and so different name servers have different SOA records.

The same thing occurs with Active Directory name servers when they are set up in "fault tolerant" mode where each server is a master.

Zonecheck reports:

% zonecheck sksl.com
...

 :   The primary nameserver (ns1.sksl.com.) doesn't match the given one
 : (ns0.sksl.com.).
 `..... .. .. . .  .
=> ns1.sksl.com./217.118.129.10

f> The nameserver list doesn't match the given one
 :   The given nameserver list (ns0.sksl.com., ns1.sksl.com.) is not
 : consistent with the one retrieved from the zone (ns0.sksl.com.,
 : ns1.sksl.com., sksl-dns.sksl.com.).
 `..... .. .. . .  .
=> ns0.sksl.com./217.118.128.10

which may be too harsh. May be the MNAME should be ignored or a discrepancy could be just a warning, by default?
