RFC 2181 says: "The TC bit should be set in responses only when an RRSet is required as a part of the response, but could not be included in its entirety. The TC bit should not be set merely because some extra information could have been included, but there was insufficient room." https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2181#section-9 So if there are optional records that could be included in the Authority section, but they aren't required, it can leave them out without setting TC. -- Barry Margolin Arlington, MA _______________________________________________ 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
