).
So NOTAUTH is used here for "Not Authorized" (RFC3845).

 Hi Roger,
  I am seeing a response from a knot name server
that I am working on
 that has me a little confused. When I do zone transfer requests from
 clients that aren’t allowed to do a zone transfer I expect to receive
 rcode 5 REFUSED, but I am receiving rcode 9 NOTAUTH. 
 The REFUSED rcode is
generally used to indicate that a server isn't
 carrying the zone you queried for.
 However, when a server does have a zone loaded, and can answer queries
 for it, but just won't allow zone transfers, then NOTAUTH is the right
 response, meaning "I have the zone, but I won't XFR it to you”. 
 I am
digging through the RFC’s and I interpret them to as saying the exact opposite. As far as
I can tell the REFUSED rcode is a refusal based on policy (RFC1035) and then that NOTAUTH
rcode is that the nameserver isn’t authoritive for the queried zone (RFC2136). I am
finding mixed implementation in the wild and was wondering what the knot developers based
the implementation decision on.
   Is this
the expected behaviour? Is this configurable? 
 Yes it is expected behaviour, and as
far as I know, it's not configurable.
