There are two reasons I don't understand why this is the case. 1) Since there is only one query in the command, I don't understand why "left to right" matters. If you could do something like dig IN IXFR=<serial> example.com +notcp IN A www.example.com +tcp then sure.. because changing the order of options would be ambiguous, but you can't do that. 2) dig is generally very forgiving of argument order, so I don't see why the location of +notcp would be any different. > dig +short @8.8.8.8 IN A cbc.ca 159.33.3.85 > dig @8.8.8.8 IN A cbc.ca +short 159.33.3.85 > dig IN A cbc.ca +short @8.8.8.8 159.33.3.85 > Note, named will for the use of TCP in its UDP response. What verb is missing from this sentence? _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
