Narrative:
Had just turned outbound in the holding pattern that is published over rome (rmg), rome arrival, atlanta, GA, when we received clearance to atlanta via radar vectors, maintain an outbound 313 degree heading. A DC9 was directly in front of us about 7 mi proceeding outbound also. ZTL turned him back in and for some reason he was at our altitude climbing at first in his turn, then descending slowly back through our altitude as we passed 2 mi horizontally. We responded to the RA by climbing. 2 seconds after we initiated our climb, TCASII said 'clear of conflict.'
