Well said, Paul. I make my users choose between the various names for a server, and generally publish the name that the machine actually knows itself as, rather than any of the application names that reside there. In my opinion, the RFC is fairly clear. And my users don't know you have added this capability to BIND. So I agree this should never become the expected behavior, even if it begins to appear in great DNS software around the world.

(On the other hand it > handles multiple A records in forward zones OK.) to be fair, multiple PTR RRs is something we added in BIND gethostbyaddr() in more or less direct contravention to RFC 1034. if dnsviz doesn't handle it (and i don't know if it doesn't) then it's not dnsviz's fault at all since the DNS RFC's say that there will only be one PTR RR at an in-addr. -- Paul Vixie KI6YSY _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
