Hi,

If BIND is authoritative for zone a, and is not authoritative for zone
b, but zone b is configured in BIND's zone file, and x.zonea.com is
CNAME'd to y.zoneb.com.

When DNS client queries to this BIND for x.zonea.com, it gets the
authoritative answers for both x.zonea.com and y.zoneb.com, certainly
y.zoneb.com is a fake one.

How DNS client handle this case?
Thanks.

It depends on the client and whether the zones are signed or not
and whether the client is validating responses or not.

Stub clients will almost always trust the complete answer.
For iterative clients it depends on their level of paranoia.


Thanks Mark.
For a DNS caching only server, for example, BIND, it will validate the response always, is it?
