>>> I'll leave it up to the protocol experts to answer your question, but my followup question is: >> "what bad thing are you seeing happen because of this?" A very minor side-effect (but one that I would like to understand the cause of) is that when I try and resolve "mail.wilmot.me.uk" from my own network (against a local caching-resolver (A Microsoft Win2003 server)) it is coming bak with an error (when in fact I know that the record should exist) >> From your original post it seems like some resolvers are not doing what BIND 9.6.2-P1 is doing, Precisely ... In this particular case, the "SOME" includes Microsoft "WIn2003, Win2003 R2, Win 2008" (but Win2008 R2 seems to be operating correctly forsome reason).. >> namely chasing the CNAME to come up with an answer to the A query. Is that your concern? Yup ...
